Don't Miss It: Talk on The Changing Role of Women in the Military

Speakers include two women who will talk about their experiences in the military.

In commemoration of Veterans Day, the League of Women Voters of the Hamptons is set to host a program, called the “The Changing Role of Women in the Military: Viet Nam to Gulf War and Beyond.”

The free event will be held on Tuesday, at 7:00 p.m. at the Hampton Bays Public Library, 52 Ponquogue Avenue. Refreshments will be served, starting at 6:45 p.m.

Speakers will include LWV Board member and Southampton resident Susan Wilson, who will give a brief history of the role of women in the military and share some of her experiences as a non-deployed Navy veteran of the Viet Nam War. Also speaking will be Susan Soto, the newly-appointed Commander of VFW Post 7009 in Southampton, who will talk about her experiences as a deployed veteran of the Gulf War.

For more information, call the league at 631-324-4637 or the Hampton Bays Library at 728-6241.
