James E. Van Zandt VA Medical Center to Host Women Veterans Recognition Ceremony

The event is dedicated to honoring the strength, service, and sacrifices of women Veterans, who continue to shape and support our nation.

Set against the backdrop of the solemn and reflective Wall That Heals, the ceremony will feature thoughtful remarks, recognition presentations, and moments of reflection to pay tribute to the remarkable contributions made by women throughout our history and within our communities.

This year’s ceremony will be highlighted by the presence of distinguished guest speakers Maureen Weigl, Kelly Wolgast, and Marilyn Kelly. Their messages will underscore the enduring impact of women’s service and leadership within the Military, Veteran community and beyond. Along with the ceremony, VA services and community partners will be available to answer questions and enroll new Veterans. If you are looking to enroll, please bring your DD-214 and latest tax return. 

“All Veterans, their families, medical center staff, and community partners are warmly invited to attend this meaningful event,” said Susan Yohn, Women’s Health Program Manager. “It is a wonderful opportunity to express our gratitude for the dedication and leadership of women Veterans past and present.”
