This event honors the service of the over 2 million women who have worn the U.S. Military Uniform and reminds us of the women who have made the ultimate sacrifice during their military service.

The 2018 Ms. Veteran America competition will be held on October 7, 2018 at the Hollywood American Legion in Los Angeles, CA. Previous competitions have been documented and attended by Local, National and International Media, Publications and Broadcasts. The 2015 Ms. Veteran America competition was also featured in the award winning documentary “Served Like a Girl”, directed by Lysa Heslov.
