National Women Veterans Recognition Day is not a separate Veterans Day for women.
Instead, June 12 commemorates a historic milestone in our nation’s military history.
On June 12, 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, granting women the right to serve as permanent members of the United States Armed Forces.
Before this law, women served honorably during times of war and national need, but were generally expected to leave military service when the conflict ended.
Women have been serving our nation since the Revolutionary War, yet many Americans are unaware of the significance of June 12. National Women Veterans Recognition Day recognizes the generations of women whose service, sacrifice, and perseverance helped shape our military and our country.
💜 Join us as we honor generations of women veterans and celebrate their lasting contributions to America’s military legacy.
