The US Field Artillery has had women fighting since the beginning. 1776, British assault on Fort Washington, Margaret Corbin was wounded and left for dead alongside her artilleryman husband. 1778, the Battle of Monmouth, Mary Ludwig Hays (Molly Pitcher) replaced her wounded husband at his gun. During the Cold War, in Germany, I had several female soldiers in my Pershing Missile platoon. Today, we have women crewing howitzers. American women can and will fight. This Monday, May 26, 2020, is the day we have set aside to remember the sacrifices of Americans, both men and women, who gave the last full measure of devotion. And to celebrate that their sacrifice was not in vain.
On this day, I salute those who have gone before us.
