The pictures that follow give a glimpse of just a fraction of the events and activities that our busy chapter members have been involved with over the past few years. Feel free to take a moment to see where our WMA adventures have taken us!
Several OH-2 and OH-1 members posed for a group shot of Ohio Women Marines with conference guest speaker, pilot Capt Vernice Armour, during the Ohio Women Veterans Conference in Columbus on April 4, 2009.
A squad of women Marines. Front row (top-bottom) Amie, Lee, Susan, Diane, Ellen, and Lynette (holding cake); back row (top-bottom) Jenny, Marilyn, Paula, Elva, Jancie, and Donna. Semper Fi! (3/14/09, Westerville, OH)
Continuing a tradition of pride in service: Lee (WWII generation) and Amie (OIF/OEF generation) share cake cutting duties, K-Bar in hand! (Spring 2009 meeting in Westerville, OH)
Lipstick can be applied in more ways than just one! (Paula, Marilyn and Ellen at the spring 2009 meeting in Westerville, OH.)
A woman Marine was never fully dressed without some bright red lipstick! (Diane and Lee at the spring 2009 meeting in Westerville, OH.)
Everywhere they go people want to know who they are so we tell them: they're the girls from OH-2 you've heard so much about! (Donna and Diane at the spring 2009 meeting.)
A household hallway magically transforms into a Tun Tavern powder room for Susan, Amie and Marilyn. (Spring 2009 meeting, Westerville, OH)
Women Marines pose for a photo after a tribute to female service members in Warren, Ohio, on Feb. 14, 2009. Pictured here are: (front, l-r) WWII vets Beulah Szezucek (OH-1), MaryLou Gruber (OH-1) and Fran Leifer (OH-1); (back, l-r) recently separated and current Marines Donna Perdue (OH-2), Viola Shivers (VA-1) and Judy Tullis (OH-2). Lots of history in this photo!

The Warren community honored Beulah for her service during WWII (1943-45). Beulah received a certificate of appreciation for her service to her country and community from the WMA.
Donna Purdue and Diane Durden spend time with retired MGySgt Hellen Hannah Campbell (oldest Marine present) and another lady Marine at the 2008 WMA National Biennial Convention in Houston, Texas.
