About this Event

We are excited to return from hiatus and we want to extend an opportunity for you to Honor and Support our Women Veterans at the 15th Anniversary of the Ms. Veteran America competition, celebrating “The Woman Beyond the Uniform." This event honors the service of the over 2 million women who have worn the U.S. Military Uniform and acknowledges the women who have made the ultimate sacrifice during their military service.

This event highlights the strength and courage of our nation’s military women and reminds us that these warriors are our mothers, daughters, sisters, aunts and wives.

Marissa Strock joins us as a special guest for Ms. Veteran America 2026, bringing her powerful story of service, sacrifice, and resilience as a Purple Heart recipient and double‑leg amputee. Her presence reminds us what courage looks like and why our mission to honor women veterans matters so deeply
