Throughout the history of the U.S. Army, women have answered their country’s call to serve.
Today on Women’s Equality Day, our nation honors the dedication and determination of those who helped secure women’s suffrage. It is also fitting to recognize the work many have done throughout the years to ensure women’s equality.
The role of women in the Army has evolved over time. Today’s female Soldiers and Army Civilians stand on the shoulders of their predecessors. They continue to break barriers wherever their service takes them – both in peace and in war. They have made indispensable and undeniable contributions to the Army and the nation.
During this – the Year of the Noncommissioned Officer – we pay special tribute to our female Soldiers who wear the rank of Corporal through Sergeant Major. They exemplify the courage and can-do attitude that makes this Army the best in the world. Today, we encourage all Solders, Civilians and Family members to thank and honor the women of our Army – past and present – for their selfless service and sacrifice. More:
