Fort Hamilton Army Base celebrates Women’s History Month
Celebrating heroic women!
Fort Hamilton Army Base marked Women’s History Month by acknowledging the contributions of servicewomen throughout history.
The festivities, held on Thursday, March 16 at the base’s Washington Room, paid tribute to heroic women as members of the WMD Civil Support Team (CST) stationed at the base read aloud their accomplishments in the first person. The teachings spanned American history from the Revolutionary War, when women followed their husbands to war out of necessity and served as nurses, to the present day, with Captain Lauren Glover, who in 2014 was the first female commander of the U.S. Army Drill Team.
