Women Veterans
A Glorious History
 
 
A word of inspiration for all female veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces...
 
"Working hard overcomes a whole lot of other obstacles. You can have unbelievable intelligence, you can have connections, you can have opportunities fall out of the sky. But in the end, hard work is the true endearing characteristic of successful people." --Rear Admiral Marsha Johnson Evans, July 2007 Guideposts
 
Women are a vital part of the armed forces and the community of veterans. The study of women veterans begins with the history of women in the military and the changing role of women in the military.
 
Women Veterans Health - Women in the Military

Women have served valiantly in America’s wars and conflicts throughout our history. And although women were not formally under military command until the early part of the 20th century, they have served in various capacities, beginning with America’s War of Independence.
