The Silver Commemorative Coin is struck in the likeness of the Women Veterans Plaque ("A

15 World War II Veterans, 5 Korea War Veterans, 5 Vietnam War Veterans, 4 Cold War Veterans,
and 15 Persian Gulf women Veterans."

The event is open to the public and all media is invited. Maine thanks everyone for their support
of our veterans.

Please plan to attend this worthy and overdue ceremony to recognize and honor Maine's Women
