Recognizing the contributions of the Women In Military Service For America Memorial ("the Military Women's Memorial").
HRES 1497 is a House resolution introduced by Rep. Lawrence and colleagues on November 29, 2022, that formally recognizes the Women In Military Service For America Memorial (Military Women’s Memorial) for its 25 years of service. The resolution highlights the memorial’s role as America’s only national memorial dedicated to documenting the service of 3 million women in U.S. military history, including preserving 304,000 service records, maintaining a world-class archive of 8,000+ artifacts, and providing educational resources to millions. It emphasizes the memorial’s work as a research hub, oral history repository (1,400+ accounts), and gathering place for veterans and ceremonies. As a symbolic resolution, it has no legal effect but formally honors the memorial’s contributions to preserving and sharing women’s military history.
