March is Womens History Month
March is Women's History Month. We recognizing the contributions made and the glass ceilings broken each day by women in the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
​
Female members of the U.S. military have not always received the recognition they’ve earned. Yet from sea, to ground, to sky and beyond, women have worn the battle flag of the United States of America and have bravely served in her name. We honor them.
