While women have been serving in the United States Armed Forces, whether it be directly in a specific armed service or via a Medical Corp for decades, it wasn’t until the mid-1970′s that the U.S. Armed Forces ended a separate service for Women and ended segregation by gender. Prior to that, Women always served as a separate entity: WAC, WAVES, WAF. In honor and recognition of this service, this Forum is dedicated to those Woman who have served their Country, whether it be under the prior segregated services, or in the currently integrated Armed Forces.
