Women's History Month: Join us in saluting those who serve

By: Nicole Bauke, Army Times

In our nation’s history, women have been both loud and quiet influencers in shaping this country — as wives, mothers, workers, teachers, and leaders. In March, we celebrate their many accomplishments.

Almost 210,000 women are currently serving on active duty in the U.S. military, constantly pushing boundaries and exceeding expectations. They carry the history of thousands of others, who began serving their country as cooks, nurses, and administrators in the Revolutionary War.

Today, they can serve as leaders in all jobs, in all branches of the military.
