Military Women's Memorial

Mapped location of Military Women's Memorial

Overview

Located at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery, the memorial honors all women who have served courageously, selflessly and with dedication. The Military Women's Memorial is the only major national memorial honoring all women who have defended America throughout history. Visitors are immediately impressed by beautiful views and the building’s Court of Valor with its reflecting pool and fountain. Every Memorial Day and Veterans Day, the Court of Valor is the site of formal military honors, and a woman from each military service tells her story and pays tribute to women who have served before.

This memorial is the only major one of its kind in the United States (and the world!) to showcase the service of women in the military, preserving moments and stories of military women from the Revolutionary War through the present. The structure features 16 exhibit alcoves for permanent and rotating exhibits, as well as an interactive computerized register of female service members.
