🌟 Honoring Women Who Served 🌟

Three remarkable women were recognized at the Military Women’s Memorial — each a trailblazer in her own right. 🇺🇸

👩‍✈️ Linda Cruz
U.S. Army | Jan 1971 – June 1972
Linda trained at Ft. Dix, NJ, and Ft. McClellan, AL. Her first role was leading a team that processed honorable discharges for returning Vietnam Veterans — ensuring they received the recognition they earned.

👩‍⚕️ Meg Garrett
U.S. Navy LT | Nov 1971 – Aug 1978
Meg served in Naval Hospitals from Chelsea to Bethesda. She cared for orthopedic patients and was chosen to care for nine POWs after their return. At Charleston, she led the psychiatric unit as Chief Nurse, offering strength and compassion.

🌊 Barbara Jolly
U.S. Navy LCMR | Apr 1975 – Oct 1996
Barbara’s career spanned oceanographic research and surface warfare. A graduate of OCS and Surface Warfare School, she broke new ground in Navy science and leadership.
