American Women in
Uniform
From the site: Did you know that there are almost two million women
veterans? From the American Revolution to Operation Allied Force around
Kosovo, women have served in some way in every conflict. Not that they
were legal in the early days. History tells us that thirty three thousand
women served in World War One and almost 500,000 took part in World War
Two. During the Korean era 120,000 women were in uniform and seven thousand
were deployed in theater during Viet Nam. During Desert Storm seven per
cent of the total U.S. forces deployed were women - over forty thousand
of them. So on these pages you will find the history and accomplishments
of those women who have served this country - voluntarily - since its beginning.
