The observance commemorates the anniversary of the 1948 Women's Armed Services Integration Act, which granted women permanent career opportunities in the U.S. military.

Women veterans are invited to attend the free event to learn about VA programs and resources while participating in activities focused on health and wellness.

Organizers say the event is designed to help women veterans connect with one another, recharge and celebrate their service.

The event is open to all women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces, including those who are not currently enrolled in VA health care.
