Welcome to the Patriot Leadership Award Gala
Each year, on October 18th, the Military Women’s Memorial hosts its signature
Patriot Leadership Award Gala—a deeply meaningful event that honors the
extraordinary legacy of military women while celebrating the enduring strength,
courage, and leadership that define their service. The date holds special
significance, marking the anniversary of the Memorial’s dedication on October 18,
1997, when the doors of the memorial first opened.
