Each year, WDVA celebrates Women Veterans Day alongside the Women Veterans Advisory Committee (WVAC). This year, we are excited to invite Women Veterans to a Women Veterans Celebration Luncheon where we will honor their service, strength, and contributions.
This year’s theme, “A Salute to Sisterhood,” celebrates the unity, resilience, and shared experiences of women who have served, and continue to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces.
“To honor those who have gone before, we must support those now serving to ensure great women warriors in the future,” said WVAC member, Carrol Stripling.
This celebration builds on the spirit of Women Veterans Day, observed annually on June 12 to commemorate the anniversary of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act of 1948. The day recognizes the long-overlooked contributions of women who served throughout U.S. history, often without equal acknowledgment or access to benefits.
