Much of what is known about Polly Cooper's remarkable acts during the American Revolution has been preserved through the Oneida oral tradition.

Cooper walked over 200 miles to Valley Forge with 47 Oneida warriors to meet George Washington’s Continental Army. They carried baskets of white corn to feed the starving soldiers. While the Oneida warriors went to the battlefield to help fight the British, Cooper remained at the camp and taught the soldiers how to prepare the corn themselves.

Cooper refused payment for her services, but Oneida tradition tells that a bonnet and shawl were purchased and given to her as a symbol of gratitude. There are many versions of the story, and the bonnet has since been lost, but the shawl is a significant relic of Cooper’s bravery and kindness.

HONORING AN EXTRAORDINARY PARTNERSHIP | THANK YOU, DAR! 🇺🇸

As we prepare to celebrate the Military Women’s Memorial’s 29th anniversary and honor this year’s remarkable Patriot Leadership Award recipients, we are especially proud and deeply grateful to recognize the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution (NSDAR) as the Presenting Sponsor of our 2026 Patriot Leadership Award Gala!

Our relationship with NSDAR is one rooted in a shared commitment to honoring service, preserving history, and ensuring that the extraordinary contributions of America's military women and the women who served with US Armed Forces, are never forgotten.

Long before the Military Women’s Memorial opened its doors in 1997, the Daughters of the American Revolution believed in our mission and helped make our vision a reality. Nearly three decades later, their unwavering friendship, generosity, and dedication continue to make an extraordinary difference.

Through the years, NSDAR has contributed more than $1 million to the Military Women’s Memorial, helping us honor generations of servicewomen, preserve their stories, educate future generations, and ensure that their courage, sacrifices, and contributions remain a visible and enduring part of our Nation’s history.

This partnership represents generations of Daughters standing alongside the women who have served our Nation, championing their stories, celebrating their accomplishments, and helping safeguard their legacies for generations yet to come.

On October 17, as we gather for our Patriot Leadership Award Gala, we will celebrate not only extraordinary women whose courage, leadership, service, and contributions have shaped our Nation, but also the incredible partners who make our mission possible.

To the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, your belief in our mission has helped shape the Memorial's past, sustain its present, and build its future. We are profoundly grateful for your enduring friendship, remarkable generosity, and steadfast commitment to America's military women.

From all of us at the Military Women’s Memorial, THANK YOU, NSDAR, for nearly three decades of believing in us, standing with us, and helping us ensure that HER STORY is never forgotten. ❤️🇺🇸
