Happy 251st Birthday to the United States Army!

Today, the Women’s Vet Net hosted an incredibly meaningful ceremony on our Connecticut Veterans Affairs campus. It was a morning that elevated the identities and voices of women who have worn the cloth of our nation, including our current female service members.

Connecticut’s formal recognition of June 12th as Women Veterans Recognition Day demonstrates our state’s commitment to recognizing the courage, sacrifice, and service of women who have served in the United States Armed Forces.

We thank everyone for their participation and support in carrying forth the vital role of ensuring the contributions of women veterans are acknowledged and preserved for all future generations.

On National Women Veterans Recognition Day, we proudly honor the women who have answered our nation’s call to serve. Their courage, leadership, and sacrifice have helped shape our military and strengthen our communities.

Today, we recognize Connecticut’s women warriors and veterans and thank them for their service, dedication, and enduring commitment to our great country and state.

Your service not only protects the freedoms we cherish, but also inspires future generations of women to lead, serve, and pursue their dreams with confidence and determination.

June 6, 1944, before dawn, thousands of ships crossed the English Channel, aircraft filled the skies and more than 150,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy. The magnitude and scale of D-Day is almost impossible to comprehend, but so is the courage it demanded. On this 82nd anniversary, we remember the men who faced insurmountable odds, knowing history hung in the balance. We honor their determination and legacy for it changed the course of history. Their sacrifice helped secure the freedom of generations to come.
