The last few months have seen a significant change in the way that women and minorities are heralded by our country. We have seen a systematic erasure of women and their contributions from the official pages of military history. Women have served in some capacity from the Civil War up until today and many of them have been laid to rest at Arlington. One of those places that has removed this information is the website of Arlington National Cemetery. A page that allowed visitors to quickly access information and stories about the women interred there is no longer available.

If you are able to visit Arlington and would like to access locations and information about the women who gave their lives for their country, this information can be found at the website of the Foundation of Women Warriors. Please visit their website www.foundationforwomenwarriors.org
