We are thrilled to invite you to a remarkable event hosted by the VA Office of the Secretary, Center for Minority Veterans (CMV), in honor of Black History Month! This celebration promises to be both inspiring and enlightening, and we would love for you to be a part of it.

Join us for an inspiring session with Dr. Linda Singh, Retired Major General, Maryland's first African American and first woman Adjutant General. With over 30 years of military service, she has held key positions including commander of the Maryland Army National Guard and director of the Joint Staff, Maryland National Guard.

Additionally, we are excited to have Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier, Board Director of the Women’s Army Foundation, in partnership with VA's Center for Women Veterans (CWV), as our special guest. She will discuss her significant contributions to the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion Project, highlighting their incredible legacy during World War II. Her contributions to the military community and advocacy for women Veterans will surely enrich our discussions.
