HELP US CELEBRATE
General Vaught’s 93rd Birthday
March 15th is a special day for the Military Women’s Memorial. It’s our founding president’s birthday! This year, her 93rd, will be particularly special as we reflect upon her recent receipt of the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Air Force Association Lifetime Achievement Award; her induction into the National Defense University Hall of Fame; and the dedication of the Vaught Center at MWM. She is truly a national treasure.
During her lifetime of service – nearly 30 years in the USAF and another 30 at the Memorial, she has made a tangible difference for so many and literally changed the face of monumental Washington.
Thank you, Brig. Gen. Vaught, for your service to our country and for giving America a place to say “thanks” and to pay tribute to the 3 million women who have served in the nation’s defense.
Wish General Vaught a Happy Birthday!
