On May 25, 2025, at the National Museum of the United States Army in Fort Belvoir, VA, a new unit tribute will be dedicated to the WWI U.S. Army Signal Corps Female Telephone Operators Unit, known popularly as the “Hello Girls.” They were the first all-female unit in the US Army to directly contribute to combat operations in France and then post-war occupied Germany.
A reception will begin at 1:30 in Veterans’ Hall, followed by a ceremony at 2 p.m., and an unveiling of the unit tribute along the Wall of Honor.
WWI music will be performed by members of the Doughboy Foundation’s AEF Headquarters Band. A guided tour through the Nation Overseas gallery which covers World War I and Hello Girls memorabilia is available after the dedication. This event is made possible by the Doughboy Foundation and The
Volunteer Corps at the Museum.
People wishing to attend the event must RSVP by May 10, 2025. Please note that the Museum has several policies and procedures to which all visitors must adhere.
