About this Event

National Women Veterans Recognition Day & America's 250th Celebration

Join the Military Women’s Memorial for a powerful and inspiring evening as we commemorate our Nation’s 250th birthday and a historic celebration honoring the more than 250-year legacy of women's service to our Nation.

Exhibit Unveiling

This evening will feature the unveiling of our new signature exhibit:
“Women of Valor: 250 Years of American Women Serving Our Nation”

Through stories of courage, sacrifice, leadership, and service, this landmark exhibit will shine a light on the generations of women who helped shape and defend our Nation — often without recognition, but never without impact.

Keynote

We are honored to welcome Kate Andersen Brower, co-author of We The Women with Norah O’Donnell, who will join us for this meaningful occasion and lend her voice to this powerful tribute.

Experience an evening filled with:
• Powerful stories and reflections
• Special surprises, giveaways, and prizes
• Camaraderie and community
• A celebration of service, sacrifice, and patriotism
• An opportunity to stand among history and those continuing to make it

More than a program, this is a moment in our Nation’s history — a chance to gather together to ensure the legacy of women who served is seen, honored, remembered, and celebrated.

Before there was a country—she was there.
She served when she wasn’t allowed to.
She stepped forward when others said no.
She carried the mission, broke barriers, and built a legacy that continues to shape our Nation today.

Each generation has stood on the shoulders of those who came before—pushing further, reaching higher. Because of them, the next generation stands taller, prouder, and more inspired to serve.

Our June 12th event is more than a celebration—it’s a declaration:

Women's service isand always will bean essential part of America's strength.

Event Photos

Situated at the ceremonial entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, the Military Women’s Memorial is the only major national memorial and education center dedicated to preserving and honoring the history of all servicewomen – past and present. More than 3 million women have served in the military since the American Revolution, yet the stories of these courageous patriots are largely untold. For more than 25 years, the mission of the Memorial has been to honor and tell the stories of service of all women who have served our nation. By ensuring these stories of honor, duty, and sacrifice live on in perpetuity, future generations of girls and women are able to see clear pathways and leadership examples through military service. The Memorial educates and inspires through innovative and interactive exhibitions, our world-class collections, and engaging programs and events for all generations.
