Hawaii veterans on this year's Honor Flight stopped at the memorial for women who served, a moment of recognition for a group often overlooked.

• The group visited the Women in Military Service for America Memorial, built in 1995 just outside Arlington National Cemetery.
• Women on the trip shared their own service stories, including work as illustrators, draftsmen, and mapmakers tracking troop movements.
• There are an estimated 3 million women veterans in the US, but only 300,000 have registered their names with the memorial.
• Two more Hawaii veterans signed the register during the visit.

Outlook: The Honor Flight continues its Washington itinerary, with the registry gap leaving most women veterans still uncounted.
