PROCLAMATION<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the Revolutionary War to today, women have played vital roles in our nation\u2019s defense, answering the call to serve and demonstrating courage and dedication in every branch of the military \u2013 even before they could officially serve. Women\u2019s Military History Week honors these women, recognizing their resilience, sacrifice, and leadership.<\/p>\n

World War II marked a turning point with the creation of the Women\u2019s Army Corps and the historic 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, an all-Black and all-woman unit that ensured frontline troops received their mail. These forerunners helped pave the way for the full integration of women into all military roles, including combat positions.<\/p>\n

Breaking down barriers has always made our military \u2013 and our country \u2013 stronger. This week, we celebrate all the women who have chosen to serve this country, no matter the cost to themselves, and we honor the history they\u2019ve made in doing so.<\/p>\n

From U.S. Army Sergeant Sagen Maddalena, silver medal winner in the 2024 Summer Olympics, to Captain Sage Fox, the first transgender soldier to openly serve, to our own CalVet Secretary Lindsey Sin, California is home to countless women who have selflessly and bravely put their lives on the line \u2013 all of them history makers in their own way.<\/p>\n

Each of these servicemembers, whether they\u2019re active-duty or a veteran, those with us today and those who have passed on, deserve recognition and respect. At a moment when important parts and people of military history are being removed, we take this moment to acknowledge women\u2019s military history. Our military is strong because of its many parts \u2013 because it draws on the strengths of our people, coming together in unity and in defense of our country.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Military History Week is a time to recognize these achievements and reaffirm our commitment to a military where all servicemembers have equal opportunities and recognition. Their stories inspire us and remind us of the strength that diversity brings to our U.S. Armed Forces.<\/p>\n

NOW THEREFORE I, GAVIN NEWSOM<\/strong>, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim March 17-23, 2025, as \u201cWomen\u2019s Military History Week.\u201d<\/p>\n

IN WITNESS WHEREOF<\/strong>\u00a0I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 16th<\/sup>\u00a0day of March 2025.
\nGAVIN NEWSOM
\nGovernor of California<\/p>\n
