The other day, I had the privilege of visiting the Veterans Museum in McDonough, GA. What I expected to be a quiet afternoon turned into a powerful encounter with living history.
The museum itself is a treasure, walking you through time from the days of World War II and Hitler’s rise, all the way to more recent conflicts. Each display reminded me of the sacrifices made by countless men and women who answered the call to serve.
But what truly made the visit unforgettable was meeting two remarkable women who had come all the way from Washington, DC.
They told me they had first met in the military back in the 1960s, when they served in an all-women’s battalion. Decades later, their friendship has stood the test of time, and together they still make trips to honor their service and the service of others.
As they shared their story, they spoke about the dedication of all-women’s Army museums—spaces that finally shine light on women’s contributions in the armed forces. They also reflected on how much the military has changed. Back then, women were allowed to become pregnant and continue serving—something that is no longer the case. Listening to them was like opening a window into the complex, often overlooked history of women in uniform.
Standing among the artifacts, from the World War II displays to the more modern exhibits, I was reminded that military service is not just about battles won or lost—it is about real people. Real men and women leave behind families, dreams, and often their very lives. War is not a headline—it’s a human cost that ripples through generations.
Let’s not forget the prophets responsibilities and roles in the military.

As I left the museum, I carried with me not just the lessons of history, but also the voices of two women who lived it. Their stories were a reminder that service comes in many forms, friendships can span a lifetime, and peace is always the greatest victory.
