Women Veterans

Johns Creek Veterans Association is celebrating our 13th year of explosive growth, new programs, and development of the 2nd largest, privately funded veterans memorial park outside of Washington DC.  In addition to the greatness of our park, is the vast inclusion of or women veterans of whom shared in our Nation’s history of service!

Women Veterans Day in June, is one of the numerous highlight we celebrate each year. This is our special anniversary, recognizing and honoring our own and all women veterans. Each woman has proudly served, made sacrifices and significant contributions while being a trailblazer. Many continue to serve in numerous capacities in our community, our association, and in their personal and professional lives. I am so proud of each and every woman veteran. Here are highlight photos of our 2022 event.

Old Soldiers Day 2024 Honoring Women Veterans

Martina Schmidt, U.S. Air Force (Ret.), Chairwoman of the “She Served Initiative.” The Alpharetta City Band Brass Ensemble provided music before and after the program. Scouts from Troop 51 presented the colors, and a memorial brick “Honoring All Women Who Served” was added to the Walk of Memories. 

It is quite an honor to serve my fellow woman veteran members, guests and prospective members. I invite you to join me and other women veterans at one of the most dynamic, friendly, inspiring, and active veterans associations in Georgia!”

We Welcome All Women Veterans

Every 4th Thursday each month, we meet in the Park Place Senior Center with a hot full-course meal served at 6PM. Our meetings follow from 7-8 PM. Local high school’s Young Men’s Service Club help serve and escort you to your table. You will enjoy the camaraderie, fellowship, and military family atmosphere. Our meetings include a guest speaker which is veteran related. So come early and stay late! 

A most memorable part of your visit, simply must a walk along our Memorial Walk, which includes a 1⁄2 scale model of the Traveling Vietnam Wall… “The Wall That Heals”. You’ll also enjoy the dedicated plazas, with our notable Women’s Plaza, a water feature and Gazebo. Help us perpetuate the history and memory of our women veterans past, present, and future. I look forward to personally meeting you soon.
