The Military Women’s Memorial is the United States’ only major national memorial to honor the more than 3 million women who have served in the military since the American Revolution.

Like many of you who have visited Arlington National Cemetery, we have passed by the beautiful Military Women’s Memorial without realizing its significance OR the travel stories, life journeys and rich legacy of American Women’s Military history it maintains.

Behind the beautiful walls of the Memorial’s Hemicycle structure is a 33,000 square foot building that provides educational programs and exhibits. Its latest exhibit is called: The Color of Freedom: Honoring the Diversity of America’s Servicewomen.

Phyllis Wilson, a retired Army veteran of 37 years and President of the Military Women’s Memorial Foundation, joins us to talk about the Memorial and two important campaigns to preserve history and honor a group of female veterans.
