Let's talk about the Women’s Army Corps (WAC)!

Established during WWII, the WAC was the first time women (other than nurses) served within the ranks of the U.S. Army. They faced skepticism, but they proved their absolute necessity, serving overseas in North Africa, Europe, and the Pacific. Today, women serve in every Army branch and specialty.

MILITARY WOMEN LEAD THE WAY!
https://bit.ly/MWMHerStoryPodcast_JuliaBaylosis

In case you missed this Her Story podcast episode with ENS Julia Baylosis, NC USN, we're resharing with you.

ENS Baylosis is originally from Norfolk, VA, graduated from Old Dominion University with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a minor in Psychology. Following her graduation, she attended Officer Development School in Newport, Rhode Island, and in October 2023, she reported to her first duty station at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where she now works on a Neurology and Transplant Medical-Surgical floor.

Our Her Story podcast is another step forward to broaden our reach and support our mission to Honor and Remember the some 3 million women who’ve served and to Educate and Empower the public with the stories and experiences of America’s women patriots.

“HER Story: 3 Million Servicewomen’s Stories” can be heard exclusively on Wreaths Across America Radio each Monday morning at 8 am EST.

We are grateful to Wreaths Across America Radio for being a dedicated partner in sharing the stories of service and invaluable contributions of all women who serve our nation.

Today, we were honored to receive a charitable donation of over $12,000 from The American Legion Department of Michigan in support of the Michigan Paralyzed Veterans of America (MPVA).

The check was presented by Dan Cooper, Immediate Past Commander of the American Legion Department of Michigan, to Bob Vance, Vice President of MPVA. Also pictured are Brian VanSingel, MPVA Executive Director, and Brenda Wheater, MPVA Office Manager.

We extend our sincere appreciation to Dan Cooper, who nominated MPVA as the beneficiary of this fundraising effort. Dan recognized that MPVA and the hundreds of paralyzed veterans we serve throughout Michigan represent a deserving cause that is too often overlooked in favor of more widely known charitable organizations.

This generous support directly strengthens our ability to serve paralyzed veterans and their families across Michigan. We are grateful for the American Legion Department of Michigan’s continued commitment to honoring and supporting those who have served.
