Women Veterans Day is observed on June 12 in the United States, a date chosen to mark the anniversary of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act. Women’s Armed Services Integration Act enacted June 12, 1948, is a United States law that enabled women to serve as permanent, regular members of the armed forces in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force. Prior to this act, women, with the exception of nurses, served in the military only in times of war.
Through this event we will be able to provide needed intensive resources to women veterans and female active duty in the local area. Any question contact Lovay Wallace-Singleton, executive director at 252-617-2848 or Reeshema Walker, NCWorks Craven manager, 252-514-4828. Hope to see you there!
