Whether it’s piloting a jet, standing guard in a war zone, or rising through the military ranks, Penn Staters are continuing a long tradition of serving their country in the U.S. armed forces. This year, as part of its Military Appreciation Week, Penn State will celebrate 100 years of women officially serving in the military.
This is the second photo album depicting female Penn Staters serving in the United States military. Every Tuesday for the next few weeks, Penn State Today will feature a new gallery of images showing women in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and National Guard. These photos also will be featured on Penn State News.
This year’s Military Appreciation Week at the University begins with a Penn State football game on Oct. 27 leading up to Veterans Day on Nov. 11. This year’s theme will recognize 100 years of women officially serving in the U.S. armed forces with special events and activities, including community football tailgate, library showcase, speaker events and more.
