The New Mexico Department of Veterans' Services is supporting the Military Women’s Memorial's "Strive for 500" campaign. This initiative aims to honor women who have served in the U.S. military by preserving their stories. The campaign challenges each state to register at least 500 women veterans.
New Mexico, home to many servicewomen, is encouraged to participate in this effort. The Military Women’s Memorial has been collecting names, photos, service records, and personal experiences of female veterans for over 30 years. This archive is unique in its dedication to ensuring women's contributions are recognized as a vital part of America's history.
Registration is free and straightforward. Women who have served or those who know someone who has are urged to register with the Military Women’s Memorial. By participating in the "Strive for 500" campaign, individuals can help highlight women's military service and inspire future generations in New Mexico.
