Women Veterans Recognition Day is celebrated each year on June 12 in recognition of the anniversary of the 1948 Women’s Armed Services Integration Act signing. 2024 is the 76th anniversary of that groundbreaking legislation for America’s military women, granting women a permanent place and an opportunity for a career in the nation’s military. On this special day designated to honor America’s military women, past and present, the Military Women's Memorial - the place to be to honor America's military women - held our national Women Veterans Recognition Celebration.

    This collection looks stunning. I’m so happy a wonderful museum like this exists to tell the stories of women’s service. I love learning about women’s roles during war time. I have to ask, is the museum hiring for any position within the collections department? I’m a museum registrar and have been for over 10 years. This museum would be a dream job.

    I’m at a loss as to contact. My Aunt Lcdr. Thelma Fae Maxwell RN was in the Navy during the Korean War and stationed in Japan and many other bases throughout the USA. I have her memorial is dating back to 1942, her medals, her 8x10 picture in her whites. I’m 87 and have been trying to find out where to send this history to as in a memory of her service. This was a promise I made to her brother, my uncle John C. Maxwell to try to get this to the Naval Womens Museum. I’ve contacted a number of offices with no response. Please let me know what to do. My age is a problem and need to get help ASAP. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Sixty-two years I joined the US Navy WAVES and while I served I had many occasions to feel a sense of pride in the military. Through all those years that sense of pride has stayed with me and I have no greater pride than in the Military Women's Memorial and all the wonderful service women who have strived to make our Memorial a place of honor for we the women through all time.

    It was a privilege to participate in the 25th Anniversary of this Memorial. My mother, my daughter, and I are Charter Members. I attended with my daughter & a friend who is also a charter member. I was thrilled to speak with Brigadier General Wilma Vaught and take pictures with her again. She was so gracious to me in 2012 when I first met her to show off the new paint job on my motorcycle. The WIMSA Trike displays a portrait of my mother, my daughter, & I in the foreground of the Military Women's Memorial. It is a tribute to women who served. It serves to attract the attention of people with whom I can share the story of the Memorial, using it to encourage women to register. Thank you General Vaught for refusing to let them stick us in one of the corners of Arlington, instead fighting for the prominent place we have at the Ceremonial Gates of Arlington National Cemetery, providing us the recognition we all deserve. Thank you to current Memorial President Phyllis Wilson, her staff, and all the volunteers who presented this program.

    Thanks to the Military Women's Memorial for telling the story of my Aunt Betty's Coast Guard career. Her military service was only part of her story. She also spent many of her later years advocating, fundraising, and organizing the Memorial. If memory serves me correctly she is included in a photo mural in the museum display, standing proudly in her old dress uniform as Bill Clinton breaks ground. She was one hell of a woman and our family is proud to have her story told. Thank you
