The Women’s Army Corps is examined and analyzed by former Ft. Monmouth Command Historian Melissa Ziobro in the latest World War II Lecture at Brookdale Community College. For the spring 2013 series of lectures, we are offering a series of audio interviews with the speakers to generate interest and attendance for the live lectures. In past years, we’ve produced video podcasts from the lecture series, but we’ve put them on hiatus while we continue to seek sponsorship funding for this important series of lectures.

Hi! That poster is of my mother. I have the original photo that was used for the image. I would love to be able to buy the poster. I would also love to get more information about my mother, who served as a WAC under General MacArthur in the South Pacific. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks
