Phyllis Wilson, the Memorial\u2019s President, to share their stories of bravery, how the Memorial is celebrating its 25th anniversary\u2026 and what types of (crumbled) cookies taste the best in a combat zone.\xa0\n\xa0\nRecommendations for future topics are welcome via email at podcast@ausa.org.\xa0\n\xa0\nGuest: CW5 (Ret) Phyllis Wilson, President, Military Women\u2019s Memorial\n\xa0\nHost: COL (Ret) Dan Roper\xa0\n\xa0\nAudio Clip Credits:\n\xa0\nMilitary Women's Memorial 25th Anniversary Program.
