The U.S. Army Women’s Museum is now fully accessible to the public
Thanks to recent gate changes at Fort Lee, Virginia, visiting the U.S. Army Women’s Museum is simpler than ever. The museum is now fully accessible to the public. The U.S. Army Women’s Foundation is proud to partner with the museum, which tells the story of women in the U.S. Army — the courage, service, and achievements from the Revolutionary War to today. As members of the U.S. Army Women’s Foundation, this is our shared history. We invite you to walk through the exhibits, see the faces and hear the voices of those who came before us, and share this remarkable place with others who should know the legacy we carry forward.
The museum’s website extends the experience beyond its walls with virtual tours, educational resources, and professional development and training opportunities. Whether you explore online or visit in person, the U.S. Army Women’s Museum offers a powerful way to honor our past and inspire the next generation of Army women. Please share this news and encourage friends, family, and colleagues to visit.

Six Triple Eight Receives Congressional Gold Medal!
On Tuesday, April 29, 2025, the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion was honored with the highest civilian award in the United States when they received a Congressional Gold Medal for their service in WWII. The ceremony, which took place at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center in Emancipation Hall, was attended by over 300 descendants of the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion while the two surviving women of the black female unit watched the ceremony virtually from home. On hand to receive the medal were Stanley Earley and Judith Earley, the children of Unit Commander Lt. Col. Charity Adams Earley.
AWF Board Member, Col (Ret.) Edna Cummings, advocated tirelessly for the unit to receive this long overdue recognition, and was also a speaker at the ceremony. For more details and photos, click this link.
