Was she part of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%2... The uniform looks similar to this photo ⬇️ and the photo at the Imperial War Museum site - www.iwm.org.uk/collections/.... #GenHour

At my first ever Celtic festival and highland games this weekend. In Tucson, AZ. I am very warm right now. Thank the stars for cold cider and beer. My clan booth is a local family of Armstrongs that showed up with their tartan and various clan items to rep. Bless ‘em. They are so sweet and proud. ❤️

Today is my birthday and the 250th anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill, part of the first stage of the American Revolutionary War. I'm currently researching four ancestors who participated in this battle, three as soldiers and one a teenage girl that carried water and helped nurse the injured.

Because of course it is.

Screenshot of a paragraph in the quote posted article that states: "The U.S. Army Women's Museum at Gregg-Adams will be closed and its exhibits considered for addition to other museums."

@amyjohnsoncrow.bsky.social's response in her recent newsletter to those complaining about bringing politics into genealogy, RE: library budget cuts and the attack on IMLS. I agree 100%, and people need to understand this.
