Dr. Gladys West, a trailblazing mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has passed away at 95.

Born in 1930 in Virginia, West pursued higher education during the Jim Crow era fighting against discrimination earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in mathematics from Virginia State College (now Virginia State University).

In 1956, she began a 42-year career at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Dahlgren, where her groundbreaking satellite-based models of the Earth’s shape became essential to GPS.

Though her contributions went unrecognized for decades, West received long-overdue honors by being inducted into the US Air Force Space and Missiles Pioneers Hall of Fame and honored as Female Alumna of the Year by the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Awards in 2018, cementing her legacy as a quiet architect of modern navigation.

Job well done, Dr. West!

84 years ago today, just before 8:00 a.m., hundreds of Japanese fighter planes descended on the U.S. Naval base near Honolulu, Hawaii.

In the aftermath of the attack, nearly 20 American naval vessels and over 300 aircraft were either damaged or destroyed. More than 2,300 American sailors, soldiers, and marines, and 63 civilians were killed. Another 1,000 were wounded.

To this day, more than 900 of those killed remain on the USS Arizona, entombed in the wreck. Some survivors of the attack have been cremated after their own passing— their ashes interred at the memorial to rest with their shipmates.

Today, we remember all those lost at Pearl Harbor, and honor all those who felt called to serve in the aftermath of December 7th, 1941.

✨CELEBRATE 28 YEARS OF THE MILITARY WOMEN'S MEMORIAL

During a recent Military Women’s Memorial event, author Lena Andrews shared how she first discovered the story of a remarkable military woman—tucked away in a single footnote. One story nearly lost to history.

For far too long, that’s how women’s service has been treated—as a footnote.

At the Military Women’s Memorial, we are unwavering in our mission to bring women’s service out of the shadows—to give visibility, voice, and honor to women, past and present, who serve our nation. Thanks to supporters like you, these stories of service are no longer buried. They are illuminated. Celebrated. Not footnotes—but foundational chapters in America’s history.

Because of you, their stories now live on at the Memorial, proudly preserved —not hidden. Every name and story of service added to our National Register and MWM Collection is one more woman pulled from the margins of history—and given her rightful place at the center of it.

As we approach the 28th Anniversary of the Military Women’s Memorial on October 18, join us in transforming Remembrance into Action.
Awareness into Acknowledgment. Footnotes into Headlines. Because of your support, Women who serve are not a footnote. We are the force.

But we still have much work to do.

Together, let's make sure that women’s service and contributions are never just a footnote.

✨Learn their stories.
✨Record their service in the Military Women’s Memorial National Register.
✨Help ensure their legacies live on—share their stories of service.
✨Celebrate 28 Years of ensuring women who serve are Never A Footnote at the Military Women's Memorial. Let them know you've got their backs. Give a gift in honor of women, past and present, who serve our Nation. - https://bit.ly/MWM28NotAFootnote_FB

Domestic violence is more than physical violence. It can include threats, harassment, putting someone down, pressuring someone around s*x, controlling finances, and other tactics to gain power and control.

According to the CDC, about 1 in 3 women and about 1 in 4 men in the United States report having experienced severe physical violence from a partner in their lifetime. But domestic violence can impact anyone, from all backgrounds and walks of life. Domestic violence isn't just scary — it can be dangerous, even deadly.

The signs read: "They prevent you from spending time with family or friends," "They blame you for their abusive behavior & make you feel guilty," "They put you down, call you names, or say & do things that erode your self-esteem," and "They text or call all the time & get angry if you don't answer." At the top is the WomensLaw logo, and gray, purple, and white text reads: “Every1KnowsSome1 Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Know the signs. Abuse often begins long before it becomes physical.”
