VA dedicates the month of March to Women’s History Month and celebrates the contributions and achievements that women have made during their military service and beyond.

The VA celebrates our nation’s valiant women Veterans of yesterday, today, and tomorrow

Women have honorably served in the military for generations and continue to break barriers even today. The courage and determination of all women who serve or have served provides a leading light to other women during their journeys in the military – and beyond. After service, women Veterans use the skills and experiences they gained in the military to achieve milestones in their careers, contribute to their communities, and become leaders across industries.

Women Veterans of Yesterday were the “firsts of firsts” - they carved the path to recognized military service for women, they invented, they advocated, they became military leaders. Women Veterans of Today were not only “firsts” during their military service, but went on to become today’s CEOs, astronauts, founders, directors, award winning authors, volunteers and more. Women Veterans of Tomorrow are making modern military history as “firsts,” with bright military and civilian futures ahead of them.

Women have shaped the history of the U.S. military. VA is committed to recognizing and celebrating these achievements. Throughout March, VA is recognizing valiant women Veterans across social media channels. Please join us on VA’s Facebook and Instagram (@DeptVetAffairs) and follow Center for Women Veterans to learn more and share their extraordinary stories.
