Command chief discusses Women’s History Month

March 31st, 2009
The U.S. Air Forces in Europe command chief talked to Royal Air Force Lakenheath Airmen about how women have played a large part in history, which is especially true in the military.

Chief Master Sgt. Pamela Derrow visited RAF Lakenheath and spoke to base Airmen about the significance of Women's History Month.

"Women's History Month is very important because it recognizes and celebrates the historic achievements of women," Chief Derrow said. "I think that in the past, the role of American women was consistently overlooked and probably undervalued sometimes in literature, teachings and history prior to the 1980s. Since then, I think we have done a much better job educating people on the significant role women play in American history and contemporary society."
