Women have served in wars throughout American history, but it wasn’t until 1948 that they were allowed to serve in the regular armed forces. Today, we recognize that significant day and honor women who served. To all women Veterans, thank you for your service! #WomenVeteransDay

Today is the anniversary of D-Day when over 150,000 Allied forces stormed Normandy, France during World War II. Other than top military brass, very few people knew about the operation in advance. Women codebreakers were among those with prior knowledge of the invasion, and many of them kept what they knew secret their entire lives. Read more about the contributions of the "Code Girls," members of the Navy's Women's Reserve, also known as WAVES, in this Newsweek article: https://lnkd.in/gwwJAXgW #womencodebreakers #womenandwwii #womensreserveworldwar2
Women codebreakers knew some of the biggest secrets of WWII — including plans for the D-Day invasion. But most took their stories to the grave.

Women Veterans Recognition Day is not a separate Veterans Day for women. Celebrated yearly on June 12, this day recognizes, honors, and remembers the signing of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act, which allowed women the right to permanently serve in the regular armed forces. Women have served in America’s wars and conflicts throughout our history. They played vital roles in the Revolutionary War, serving as soldiers, raising morale, and spying on the enemy. It is known that some even disguised themselves as men to be able to serve. Before the signing of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act on June 12, 1948, only female nurses could serve in the regular and reserve forces during peacetime. All other women were sent home after each conflict. The signing of the Act deemed women essential to the war efforts and allowed them to serve in the regular armed forces full time. According to the U.S. Department of Defense Report in 2021, women made up 17.3% of the active-duty force and 21.4% of the National Guard and Reserves. "The over 3 million women who have served in or with the armed forces since the American Revolution have contributed immensely to the strength and resilience of our armed forces," said Patricia “Patty” Montes Barron, Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Military Community and Family Policy. #SteveAlpert #womenveteransday #womenveterans #military

Strength comes in many different forms. For Faith, one of our tenacious female employees, being strong is more than physical. It’s about being confident and resilient, especially in a mostly male-dominated field like the military. We’re celebrating #WomensHistoryMonth listening to the empowering stories of 3 of our female employees. 💪 #ManyStoriesOneMission https://nfcu.me/3PdOJvg
