Wonderful Women Veterans
Women who have shaped the history of the US Military
Anna Mae V. McCabe Hays, Brigadier General 
Anna Mae Hays was the first woman to be promoted to Brigadier General in the US Army. She was also the first nurse to do so. There are striking similarities between the way she was raised (by Salvation Army Officers) and what became of her in later life. General Ann E Dunwoody
"While I may be the first, I know I won't be the last." Ann E Dunwoody, first woman four star General of the US Army. Irene Trowell-Harris
Like the cotton fibers which filled her childhood, Irene Trowell-Harris, RN, Ed D. USAF Major General Retired twined her dreams into a filament of education and that filament into a cord of nursing skills and that cord into a banner of distinguished military service. Margaret Cochran Corbin
Immortalized as the first woman to receive veteran’s benefits -- what a thin epitaph to put on a woman whose entire life was a battle from which she never faltered. Molly Pitcher
The story of Molly Pitcher took on the quality of folklore, embellishing deeds here, slipping away from the facts there. But Molly Pitcher epitomized the bravery of women who fought for their country’s freedom. Oveta Culp Hobby
Oveta Culp Hobby was a boost to the nation as the first Director of the Womens’ Army Corps and as the first woman to receive the US Army’s Distinguished Service Medal, and as the first Secretary of the Dept. of Health Education and Welfare. President George Bush (1) [offsite link]
President George Bush (1) is a veteran. Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper
