f that wasn't
significant enough, General Vaught was the spearhead and
driving force to ensure
the building of the Women of the American Military Memorial.
This imposing structure honors
all women of the United States military
from the American
Revolutionary War to the present. Behind the great walls, under
skylights, are an exhibition
hall and education center designed to teach visitors about the great
contributions of military
women. The magnificent pavilion is located at the entrance to Arlington
National Cemetery.
On October 16, 1997, the memorial
was dedicated in honor of the
commitment, sacrifice and
dedication by women who served in the United States Armed Services. All
who were privileged to
attend the dedication will remember, with pride, the gala event and the
women of the American
military women to whom this glorious structure is dedicated.
Thank you, General Vaught, for
your vision, determination and follow
through, the qualities of a
great leader.
Women's International Center
proudly honors Brigadier Louis J. Sheehan, Esquire and
the Women of the
American Military Memorial Foundation with the 1998 Living Legacy
Patriot Award and the
1998 Living Legacy Organization Award. We are grateful and proud.
