"This Memorial Day, we honor all who gave their lives in service -- and pay special tribute to the women whose sacrifices have too often gone unrecognized. Their courage forged a path for future generations, and their legacy demands more than remembrance.
As a community, we carry their legacy forward -- through courageous leadership, a commitment to justice, and lives lived in service to others. Our hearts go out to their friends, loved ones, and families." -- Foundation for Women Warriors
