Women in Military Stamps

These 32-cent stamps honor the service of women in the United States military. The stamps feature portraits of four women who have made significant contributions to the military:

• Deborah Sampson, who disguised herself as a man and served in the Continental Army during the American Revolution

• Cathay Williams, who served as a Buffalo Soldier in the U.S. Army during the Indian Wars

• Loretta Walsh, who was the first woman to fly combat missions in the U.S. Air Force

• Anna Mae Hays, who was the first woman to be promoted to brigadier general in the U.S. Army

The stamps were issued in 1997 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Women's Armed Services Integration Act, which allowed women to serve in the U.S. military in all capacities except combat.
