Women in Military Service for America Memorial

American servicewomen have served the country in difficult and hazardous ways in times of crisis, performing military duties with integrity, moral courage, and determination, and regarding that service as their own duty to their country. Their service stretched from the storm-lashed decks of the Mayflower to modern conflicts including World War I, World War II, Operation Desert Storm, and Operation Iraqi Freedom. They broke through prejudice and presumption to cut a path for their daughters and granddaughters to serve in uniform, and their contributions guaranteed freedom, shared in victory and loss, and came despite being long unwritten, unrewarded, and almost unrecognized.
