LOVE: Expressing our Values & Commitment
- Life After War: We recognize that our female warriors put their lives on hold to serve our country, and we believe they deserve the full support and encouragement of their communities upon their return home. At CFVF, our focus is Life After War.
- Owning of the Transition: History provides examples of our failure, as a nation, to take care of our returning heroes. At CFVF, we take ownership of our role in equipping and enabling each of our female veterans to live healthy and productive civilian lives.
- Valor in Service: There is no greater courage than the valor demonstrated by a soldier deployed during wartime. As our female veterans complete their wartime duties, we strive to express our gratitude and to honor their courage and sacrifices by easing their post-deployment burdens. We serve because they served.
- Edification and Renewal: In coordination with our partner organizations and through meaningful dialogue with those we serve, we at CFVF are committed to identifying the needs of our combat female veterans, recognizing gaps in veteran services, and growing in our own service offerings, so that we may continually meet the challenges of our female warriors. We understand that learning is a constant journey.

- Education: We commit to the facilitation of training as related to VA Benefits and other veteran support services.
- Advocacy: We commit to our advocacy roles, with the dual intent of ensuring that the needs of our combat female Veterans and their families are met and that their voices are heard – locally and nationally.
