1. American Women In Uniform, Veterans Too!
Site dedicated to women in military history.
http://userpages.aug.com/captbarb
Welcome to the home of the skeptical, irrascible, doubting, iconoclastic Captain Critical, aka Captain Barb, whose pontificating will try to amuse, bemuse, irritate and generally annoy anyone bold enough to stay long enough to read the random ramblings of a self appointed distaff critic who will continue to remind you that women are veterans too!
Did you know that there are almost two million women veterans? From the American Revolution to Panama, Bosnia, Kosovo, and Afghanistan, women have served in some way in every conflict. Not that they were legal in the early days. History tells us that thirty three thousand women served in World War One and almost 500,000 took part in World War Two. During the Korean era 120,000 women were in uniform and seven thousand were deployed in theater during Viet Nam. During Desert Storm seven per cent of the total U.S. forces deployed were women - over forty thousand of them. So on these pages you will find the history and accomplishments of those women who have served this country - voluntarily - since it's beginning.

Women In Military Service For America Memorial
Whether you come to see the exhibits portraying American servicewomen, to find a relative in the computerized Register, to appreciate a spectacular view of monumental Washington or simply to enjoy a moment of reflection in the Hall of Honor, we welcome you. Here at the Women's Memorial, you will experience the inspiration, sacrifice and dedication of the some 2 million women who have served the nation's military since 1776. Their stories unfold through: * film presentations, in the 196-seat theatre, depicting the roles women have played in America's military history; * exhibits showcasing artifacts, text and memorable images donated by servicewomen and their families; * the Hall of Honor which provides recognition to those women who have served with particular sacrifice, distinction and achievement, specifically those women who died in service, were prisoners of war or were recipients of our nation's highest award for service and bravery; * the computerized Register which places the names, records of service, photographs and memorable military experiences of individual service women at the public's fingertips; and

One good test of a new work of architecture is the degree to which it improves its surroundings. By this measure, the Women in Military Service for America Memorial is a resounding success. Even though it is a bit too reticent, the memorial enhances an already splendid setting in a number of ways. You approach via Memorial Drive, on that unforgettable visual axis between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, with the Greek columns of Arlington House on the green western hill. The new memorial being dedicated today is at the base of the hill. From a distance you would hardly know it is there, for the memorial has been subtly built in front of, on top of and behind an existing structure the elegant semicircular stone retaining wall that for more than six decades has marked the ceremonial entrance to the cemetery. At dusk there is now a soft glow atop the wall, from the electric light coming through the memorial's canted glass roof. Up close, you notice the transformation right away. In front of the wall is a handsome stone-paved plaza with a dark circular pool in the center. The wall itself, left untended for decades, once again shines crisply under the autumn sun. Four of its 11 blind niches have been opened up for stairwells leading to the roof. There, you'll find a newly paved walkway and angled glass "tablets," many engraved with sayings about women's experiences in the military. Behind the wall a new building has been dug into the hillside, housing pertinent displays, a hall of honor, a small auditorium, a shop and a computerized service registry.

Vice President Gore, distinguished guests, honored veterans: Behind me, etched in glass, are the words of Clara Barton, the "Angel of the Battlefield" in the American Civil War: "From the storm lashed decks of the Mayflower to the present hour," she said, "Women have stood like a rock for the welfare and glory of the history of our country ... and one might well add: unwritten, unrewarded and almost unrecognized." Today at last we honor and recognize women who have stood like a rock. Their story

Register provides history of women in military
by Brooke Ruivivar WASHINGTON (Army News Service, March 22, 2000) - The Women in Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery currently lists only about 18 percent of all servicewomen and female veterans, something the memorial's staff is working to correct. A register inside the memorial has listings for approximately 300,000 of the 1.8 million women who served in the military. Visitors can type in the name of a servicewoman they know and the database will retrieve the woman's picture, rank and a quote about the most memorable event during her military career. Visitors can obtain a printout of the record for $5. "People will come in and say their mother served - they are very proud to see their mother or grandmother's name in the computer," said retired Brig. Gen. Connie Slewitske, vice president of the memorial's board of directors. "The greatest number of women registered are World War II women. They have been our greatest supporters," she said. One misconception about the register is that it contains only the names of retired servicewomen, Slewitske said. Although the register contains the names of famous women in military history such as Clara Barton the founder of the Red Cross who was known as "the angel of the battlefield" during the Civil War - the register is open to all women who served or are serving.

In one such attack on their home in Scott County, Tennessee, Julia Marcum, a teenager at the time, used an ax to fight off a Confederate soldier. She wounded him and her father shot him, but not before she lost an eye and a finger. The Marcums were forced out of Tennessee and made Casey County, Kentucky, their temporary home. After the war Julia Marcum returned to Tennessee and taught school, but eventually the wounds she had suffered during the war proved disabling. She returned to Kentucky and lived there for the last 50 years of her life. Upon her death in Williamsburg, Kentucky, she received military honors at her funeral. here to read the entire text.

17. Women Veterans
Dedicated on October 18, 1997, the women in military Service for America (WIMSA),is the long awaited and well deserved thank you to our Lady Veterans.
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/7351/WM.HTM
WOMEN ARE VETERANS, TOO!
Welcome to the Women Veterans Website. I am a disabled woman veteran. If it weren't for my disability, I never would've known that the Veterans Administration and it's hospitals were somewhere to go to for any reason. I, like so many other women, didn't know how to get into the system, what options were available to me as a veteran. I was lost. Thanks to the help of many other veterans, I was able to meet the right people in order to help me to work around my disability. This is not an "Oh woe is me" site. This page is being designed to help other female veterans to become aware of the services that are available to them.
The VA Hospitals
I am Veronica Reilly, USMC Retired. I belong to the American Legion in the state of NY because I want to make a difference for me and those after me to keep our benefits alive. I am trying to make a difference in the treatment that women vets receive when visiting the hospital for out and in patient appointments.
Women's Health
Women are encouraged to seek treatment at VA facilities; but not many do. Treatment of women veterans at various facilities throughout the country are not "women" friendly. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've been called Mr. Reilly; but improvements are forthcoming. They are learning that we women know what our benefits are and that we are going to use them. Get involved with your women's coordinator and see if your VA has a Women Veteran's Committee. Give the Coordinator your suggestions for improvements. They can't hurt.
