Comments on: Military Women Honored During Pentagon’s Women’s History Month http://www.executivegov.com/2010/03/military-women-honored-during-pentagons-womens-history-month/ Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:11:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Gary Zaetz http://www.executivegov.com/2010/03/military-women-honored-during-pentagons-womens-history-month/comment-page-1/#comment-104259 Gary Zaetz Fri, 04 Mar 2011 14:21:20 +0000 http://www.executivegov.com/?p=3940#comment-104259 Among the 74000 Americans still missing from World War II are 27 American servicewomen, listed below. It is to America's shame that the remains of these courageous women and of all the other American MIAs of World War II are still unrecovered after so many years, largely due to the grossly insufficient funds our Government allocates to our military's remains recovery program. In honor of Women's History Month (2011), please demand from our Congressional representatives that our Government start adequately funding this program. WASP Gertrude V.
