Our Members
Members of our organization have served in all branches of the military and in every conflict from WWII through Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Desert Shield/Desert Storm, Afghanistan, and Iraq, as well as in peacetime. Military women’s service and patriotism have been catalysts for both political and social change. These changes, however, have not come without hardships such as harassment and lack of recognition, both within and outside the military.
