 
 As Vietnam War Veterans Day approaches on March 29, 2024, let us remember the service, sacrifice and bravery of our Vietnam Veterans and their loved ones during some of the most turbulent times in our Nation's history.
Watch "Thank you for your Service", a powerful tribute produced by INSP Cable Network, a commemorative partner of the United States of America Vietnam War Commemoration.
 This Women’s History Month, VA honors Native American women Veterans – like Ola Rexroat! From the Oglala-Lakota Nation, Ola was the only Native American woman to serve in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) during WWII. She flew AT-6 and PT-19 planes and towed targets for aerial gunners. In 1944, Ola joined the U.S. Air Force, where she spent most of her career as an air traffic controller.
She was inducted into the South Dakota Aviation Hall of Fame in 2007. In 2009, she and her fellow WASPs were awarded a Congressional Gold Medal.
