We Are Strong
The Women Marines Association is proud to be the only charitable organization for and about women Marines. WMA is a non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization and a member of the National Marine Corps Council and maintains a liaison with Headquarters Marine Corps. Being a woman in the Marines is an honor and privilege and reflects the strength and courage of women Marine veterans and those who are currently serving.
The Women Marines Association was established in Denver, CO, in 1960 to ensure that our legacy and history as women Marines would continue to be shared and the accomplishments and milestones influence the next generation of Marines. WMA is committed to remembering and appreciating all women who have worn the uniform and earned the title of Marine. WMA is united by our comraderie and service to others and our chapters and members across the nation work on community programs that support our military personnel, our women Marine veterans, their families, and the communities in which they live. We see no boundaries and reach across all areas where there is a need.
