Good morning everyone, With Veteran's Day coming up, I was wondering if anyone has plans to attend any veteran's day events in your home communities. In particular, does yoru community offer any events to recognize women's service in particular? The Women in Military Service for America Memorial in DC has their annual event coming up, and they have a list of other events online at http://womensmemorial.org/News/events.html Here is the full list from that page, in case any of these are in your community. If you're aware of an event, please send it in! If you attend an event, we'd love to hear about it!
