- Lieutenant Kara Spears Hultgreen – The Navy’s first female carrier-based fighter pilot.
- Major Marie Therese Rossi – The first American woman to fly helicopters in combat during Operation Desert Storm.

- Justice Thurgood Marshall – The first Black Supreme Court Justice.
- Major General Marcelite Jordan Harris – The Air Force’s first African American woman brigadier general.

We’d like to publicly honor their dedication and service to our country by sharing their names:
- General Colin L. Powell – The first Black chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

A cemetery spokesperson confirmed that internal links directing users to webpages listing the dozens of “Notable Graves” of Black, Hispanic, and female veterans, along with their spouses, have been removed.

This action is part of a broader effort by the Defense Department to eliminate all references to diversity, equity, and inclusion from its online presence.

Additionally, the removed content included information about groups such as the Buffalo Soldiers and the Tuskegee Airmen, both composed of Black service members who made significant contributions to U.S. military history.

You can’t erase the past, and you can’t erase their legacy!

This is unjust.

Terrible.
