May is Asian-Pacific
Heritage Month
More than two million women have served in the US Armed Forces beginning
with the American Revolution. May is Asian-Pacific Heritage Month and
an opportune time to tell the stories and relive the history of America's
military women. The Women In Military Service For America Memorial Foundation,
Inc., continues its national campaign to locate and register women veterans,
active duty servicewomen, women serving in the National Guard and Reserves
and women who have served in service organizations so that they can be
recognized in the Memorial's interactive database—the Register—which
places the names, photographs, military histories and memorable experiences
of registered servicewomen at the public's fingertips. During Asian-Pacific
Heritage Month, why not celebrate women's contributions by registering
yourself, a relative, friend or historical figure in the Women's Memorial?
If you are, or know of a woman who has served or is currently serving in
the military, please call 1-800-4-SALUTE or write the Women's Memorial,
Dept. 560, Washington, DC 20042-0560. Internet users can contact the Foundation
through e-mail at hq@womensmemorial.org.
