Women Veterans Recognition Day is celebrated on June 12th to honor the service and sacrifice of women who have worn the uniform, while also recognizing a key moment that changed the course of military service for women in the United States.

This recognition became official on June 12, 1948, with the signing of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act. This landmark legislation granted women the legal right to serve as permanent, regular members of the U.S. Armed Forces. No longer confined to temporary or auxiliary roles, women could now build full military careers and help shape the future of our armed services.

VALIANT WOMEN is the story of the 350,000 American women who served in uniform during World War II. These incredible women served in every service branch, in every combat theater, and in nearly two-thirds of the available military occupations at the time. They were pilots, codebreakers, ordnance experts, gunnery instructors, metalsmiths, chemists, translators, parachute riggers, truck drivers, radarmen, pigeon trainers, and much more.

LENA ANDREWS is the author of Valiant Women: The Extraordinary American Servicewomen Who Helped Win World War II and an Associate Research Professor at the University of Maryland’s School of Public Policy.

As we celebrate National Donut Day, we remember the "Donut Dollies" - the popular nickname given to American Red Cross volunteers who served near the front lines during the Vietnam, Korean, and World Wars. Armed with smiles and games, they traveled by jeep and helicopter to bring a brief taste of home, emotional support, and a morale boost to troops.

There, she carved out her own interdisciplinary space by proposing a project to develop a device enabling women to urinate safely in fast jet aircraft.
