Ubi bene ibi patria
" The nation’s only memorial for women in the military needs your help to keep serving the women it honors.

Almost 20 years after it opened, the Women in Military Service for America Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia is experiencing some financial struggles, and a grassroots effort to raise $20 million is underway to keep the site open for decades to come.

Commonly referred to as the Women’s Memorial, it’s one of the first sights visitors see as they drive down Memorial Avenue toward the entrance of the cemetery. It’s also a place where women who served can register their name and experiences for posterity.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Dee McWilliams, president of the Women in Military Service for America Memorial Foundation, said around 300,000 women have registered.

“Not every woman who was ever in the service will get a book written about them,” she said. “This is a way to ensure they have a little piece of history about them.” "
