Wearing Every Uniform and Healing

June 15, 2023

Charlotte Ayers wore the uniforms of three different services during her 89 years, and recalls the challenges of her U.S. Marine Corps husband’s emotional healing after he returned from Vietnam. The healing has prompted Charlotte to urge veterans of all ages to seek help when it’s needed. She was raised in Neillsville, WI, and lives in Beaufort, S.C. Charlotte occasionally makes her way back to Wisconsin for visits with her family, and enjoys visits to The Highground Veterans Memorial park near Neillsville.
