great Nation. Join us in honoring the bravery, accomplishments, and service of the women who have
worn and continue to wear the United States Marine Corps uniform.
The contest theme is the Significance of Women Who Began Serving Officially in Uniform 100 Years
Ago in the United States Marine Corps. Contest entrants have great latitude in their submission as
long as the essay corresponds to the contest theme. The essay could address a specific woman Marine
and how her accomplishments paved the way for other women and contributed greatly to the Corps'
mission or a specific era. It could compare and contrast certain aspects of women in Marine Corps
history over the past 100 years. The essay could also discuss how women Marines' accomplishments

opportunities as part of the Marine Corps Forces today.
