Our 2026 theme draws inspiration from an unexpected source: a line from the film “Home Alone 2.” The quote, “Maybe they don't forget about you, but they forget to remember you,” underscores the importance of actively remembering the individuals who served, especially those whose stories risk being lost to time.

We want to hear from you: Who is an individual who served our country, but time may have forgotten? If you have a story to share, please click the link below to add it to our gallery.

Today, on the 125th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps, we remember Dr. Anita Newcomb McGee (Section 1).

McGee, the only woman to serve as acting assistant surgeon in the Army during the Spanish-American War (1898), drafted the legislation to establish the Army Nurse Corps. President William McKinley signed the legislation on Feb. 2, 1901.

We honor her legacy and the contributions of all who have served in the Army Nurse Corps.
