World War II Women at War were honored at the 2024 Veterans Day program at Commemorative Air Force (CAF) Airbase Georgia in Peachtree City. Hundreds of thousands of women served in various programs supporting the military in WWII, often with very little recognition.

Wearing the respective uniforms are, from left: Tyler Elsey, Army Nurse; Robin O’Reilly, Rosie the Riveter; Jane Simpson, Womens Airforce Service Pilots (WASP); Lorraine DeLoach, Navy Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES); Amy Morse, Army Nurse; Marsha Daley, Womens Air Raid Defense (WARD); and Ann Haley, Womens Army Corps (WAC). Not shown is the U.S. Marines Womens Reserve.
