HARRISBURG – Senator Lynda Schlegel Culver (R-27) looks forward to welcoming Pennsylvania women who served in the armed forces to a special ceremony at the state Capitol on Tuesday, June 10, at noon, honoring their service and sacrifice. Registration for this event is open until May 9.
This ceremony offers a special opportunity to recognize the courage and dedication of Pennsylvania’s women veterans, from World War II through to the present day. Senator Culver encourages women veterans from all branches of the military across the Commonwealth to register and participate in this meaningful event.
“Our women veterans have served with distinction and honor, often overcoming unique challenges,” said Senator Culver. “This ceremony is a heartfelt ‘thank you’ from the Commonwealth for their invaluable contributions to our nation’s security and freedom. I am truly looking forward to welcoming them to the Capitol and recognizing their stories.”
This is the second time this event will be held, the first being in 2023, established after passage of legislation observing Women Veterans Day in Pennsylvania each year on June 12.
New participants attending the ceremony are encouraged to share their service stories by completing the required registration form here. Veterans who were featured in last year’s display and wish to participate again may simply update their previous submission here.
A virtual display showcasing participants’ stories will also be available online beginning June 9. The virtual exhibit and event details can be found on the website of the event host, Senator Tracy Pennycuick, at www.senatorpennycuick.com.
