SAN DIEGO -- For ABC 10News's Women’s History Month coverage, and just in time to wrap up Women’s Military History Week, we profile Jodie Grenier, the CEO of nonprofit Foundation for Women Warriors.

“I think over the past four years, we’ve served well over 2,000 women through our warehouse alone," Grenier said. Recently, Grenier and her colleague Shaeli Chapmen spearheaded a project to have a California license plate decal approved for women military veterans. For example, the VA Medical Center in La Jolla has new name because of Grenier and the Foundation -- the Jennifer Moreno Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

“They went to France and England and their task was to clear a backlog of 17 million pieces of mail. This connected troops to their families," Grenier said.
