Operation HER Story

In-person and Virtual Event

The Military Women’s Memorial is partnering with Travis Manion Foundation and The Library of Congress Veterans History Project on “Operation HER Story,” a special collaborative initiative and Women’s History Month event focused on the importance and impact of telling your story.

Join us, in-person or virtually, for this special event with keynote remarks and panel discussion among well-known authors, historians, archivists, and military veterans as they discuss the importance and impact of telling our stories. Through their stories, experience, and expertise, each panel member will provide a unique perspective and highlight not only the importance of telling our stories, but also the lasting impact. For many reasons, military women are less likely to tell their stories. Our keynote speaker, speakers, and panel will address this reluctance among military women with the hope of encouraging and inspiring us to find our voice and share our story.

*In order to help us plan accordingly, tickets are required for this event. Tickets are free. RESERVE TICKETS – https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1259547473399?aff=oddtdtcreator
