This year marks the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War I.
For 99 of the past 100 years, Americans have remembered all those who served our country in uniform in the Great War on November 11th, first as Armistice Day, and then, since 1954, as Veterans Day.
Women Physicians in WWI Exhibit
This exhibition celebrates the contributions of these unsung heroes - women, who even though they had capabilities equal to their male colleagues were not permitted the same military rank and privileges but made lasting contributions in the efforts of WWI. There will be a collection of articles, book chapters, and historic photographs that will provide additional insight into this important era.
