    The Women’s Army Corps (WAC) was created during World War II to enable women to serve in noncombat positions. Never before had women, with the exception of nurses, served within the ranks of the U.S. Army. More than 150,000 women served within WAC during World War II.

    The Armed Service Salute (TASS) is a celebration of Michigan's veterans, active military, civilian community support, and the authentic patriotism inspired by that collaboration. TASS consists of three events on one day of continuous patriotic Veterans Day observance. Events like these help to further solidarity between the military and the public.
