WOMEN IN SERVICE OBSERVANCE

 

 

 

Women in the military have a history that extends over 400 years into the

past throughout a large number of cultures and nations.  World Wars I and II

saw over 362,000 American women serving during war time.  As of July 2016

women made up 14.6% of the US military and their role has changed

significantly over the years from clerical duties to ground combat soldiers

to fighter pilots.  

 

 

 

Shelby County Memorial Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 8904 and the Auxiliary

will honor the service and sacrifice of all women veterans at the Veterans

Memorial on the grounds of the Historic Courthouse on Tuesday, October 18th

at 10:00 a.m.  

 

 

 

We would like to recognize the service of Shelby County female military

members and veterans at this program.  If you are currently serving or have

served our country in the military, please call post quartermaster Larry

Hume at 598-2976 or email chief@chiefimaging.com
