This exhibit from the Michigan Women's Hall of Fame highlights women who served in the US military during WWII. During WWII women served in the Army and Navy Nurses Corps, Coast Guars SPARS, Marine Corps, Navy WAVES, Women Army Corps (WACs) and Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPs)



For example: "First Lieutenant Aleda Lutz (1915-1994), of Saginaw, Michigan, volunteered with the 802nd Medical Air Evacuation Squadron where she flew 196 missions evacuating over 3500 men, logging the most flight hours of any nurse. Lutz was killed in 1944 when her plane crashed in Italy, making her the first American military woman to die in a combat zone during the war." Come and learn and reflect the proud history of Michigan women who have served in the military.
