On behalf of Louisiana Women Veterans we would like to extend our heartfelt sympathies to the family of Ms Helen Ward Baldwin, U S Air Force veteran. Here is the poem we honor our women of military at their service:
She is a woman veteran
Whose service was true
She proudly served
The Red, White and Blue
She gave a part of her life
So others could be free
Without any hesitation
She joined unselfish
She did her job well
With Honor and Pride
And served her great country
With the men alongside
We're proud today to know
That although she is gone
She goes onto glory
After a job well done
And so, "Our Dear Sister"
We salute you today
A special Airman laid to rest
In this quiet, solemn way.
Inspired by: God

Women Veterans of Louisiana offers our thoughts and prayers to the family and friends of Mrs. Baldwin as they mourn her loss.
Presented in memory of
Helen Ward Baldwin
U. S. Air Force
Patriotic and Loyal to the red, white, and blue
Courageously and unselfishly they served
To keep this land of ours free
She is A Veteran
A life, family, and friends sacrificed
A volunteer always, never drafted
Serving in distant lands or on the home front
She is A Veteran
In foxholes, under the cover of fire, or in peace
Sometimes forgotten or overlooked
Sometimes resented, segregated, and bullied
She is A Veteran
Quietly serving sometimes their only honor
Proud, Gracious, and Compassionate
Some gave all, some were captured
She is A Veteran
No more, no less, they served the same
A final salute rendered on this hallowed day
To a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a wife, a mother
To A Veteran
