About this event
We want to extend an opportunity for you to Honor and Support our Women Veterans at the 13th Anniversary of the Ms. Veteran America competition, presented by the American Legion Post 275 Family and 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.
We would also like welcome back our Emcee, Nick Kosir, The Dancing Weatherman for his third year with us!
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.
