Rhode Island celebrates the 75th anniversary of the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act of 1948, at the Rhode Island State House, June 12, 2023, in Providence, RI. The celebration featured a performance by the 88th Army Band and the keynote speaker was Col. Gloria Berlanga, the Chief of Staff for the Rhode Island Army National Guard. This act allowed women to serve as permanent members of the military albeit it was not until 2015 when all combat roles were opened to women creating critical opportunities for career advancement at the highest levels of military leadership. Also in attendance was Governor Dan McKee and other key state and local leaders. (Army National Guard photos by Officer Candidate Deirdre Salvas)
