Historical Significance:

"The Women in Military Service for America Memorial, which opened at the gateway to Arlington National Cemetery on October 18, 1997, was built to fill a void. While Washington, D.C., housed many memorials to honor America's military, none was specific to women.

Led by retired Air Force Brigadier General Wilma Vaught and funded in part by the DAR and many of its members, the memorial is the only major national memorial to pay tribute to all the servicewomen of the United State Armed Forces, from the Revolutionary War through the present day. The DAR has been involved in the memorial since its inception." (Source: American Spirit Magazine Nov/Dec 2015)
