Military Women Across the Nation Collection

Military Women across the Nation (MWAN) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to keep military women, past and present, informed of benefits associated with their military service; keep female veterans connected while preserving their common history; provide opportunities for women in tomorrow's armed forces through networking, socializing, and serving with and for other female veterans. WAVES National, (established in 1979) was a Sea Service Women’s organization for women who have honorably served, are currently serving, or have retired from one of the sea services, reserve components, or supporting nurse corps: U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Coast Guard, or U.S. Maritime Service. It was reorganized in 2015 to expand to all women from all US Military Services.
