The celebration, titled “Our History Is Our Strength,” held at the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Center-North on COB Speicher, celebrated Women's History Month, providing service members with the history of military women, and stories of female soldiers currently deployed to U.S Division-North in support of Operation New Dawn.

"It's a great privilege to be what we are."
