This year's theme is "Women Making History," which honors women who are trailblazers in science, the arts, innovation and culture and who embolden others to blaze trails of their own.

Also, on exhibit at the Hornet through Oct. 14, is a Smithsonian traveling exhibition titled "Mail Call," which explores the history of the U.S. military postal system and looks at how even today troops overseas still treasure the letters and packages they get from home.
