Governor Tate Reeves officially proclaimed June 12 as Women Veterans Day in Mississippi. This year, Mississippi joins 14 other states in celebrating. “We salute and remember the women who courageously served our state and nation, and we honor our female veterans and their families for their outstanding service, sacrifice, and remarkable dedication to our nation,” Reeves said online. The first Women Veterans Day was June 12, 2018, 70 years after President Harry S. Truman signed an act enabling women to serve in the military.
