“We have been entrusted with the stories you have confided in us. We have shared your tears and we join you in honoring the space. Through the work of so many, we now have the means to honor women who served as civilian personnel, Red Cross volunteers,  Donut Dollies, humanitarian aid workers, correspondents, and all those angels in uniform call nurses. Thank you and welcome home,"  said Yellow Hat volunteer Suzanne Sigona.
