Military Affiliated Women

1 Jun 2025 1:20 PM | Kemi Oyebade (Administrator)

The last few months have seen a significant change in the way that women and minorities are heralded by our country. We have seen a systematic erasure of women and their contributions from the official pages of military history. Women have served in some capacity from the Civil War up until today and many of them have been laid to rest at Arlington. One of those places that has removed this information is the website of Arlington National Cemetery. A page that allowed visitors to quickly access information and stories about the women interred there is no longer available.

If you are able to visit Arlington and would like to access locations and information about the women who gave their lives for their country, this information can be found at the website of the Foundation of Women Warriors. Please visit their website www.foundationforwomenwarriors.org

    Thank you for highlighting the efforts to ensure the stories of military women remain visible. The team at the Military Women’s Memorial (at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery) are accepting numerous documents (physical and digital) to ensure these stories are available. The Memorial does not receive Federal Funding. Rather, it relies upon the generous support of the American public to operate a world class education center. We appreciate the NFBPWC advocacy. The Memorial works with the UN, State Department, Defense Department via our Women, Peace, and Security program series.
