UNITED STATES —Beauty, courage, discipline, and dedication—these women wear the uniform well.


In honor of Veterans Day, NEGRO DIGEST™ proudly celebrates the Black women who have served and continue to serve in the United States Armed Forces.


From the Army and Navy to the Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and Space Force, Women of color have distinguished themselves through sacrifice, leadership, and an unwavering commitment to duty.


Behind every uniform is a woman with her own story, accomplishments, and personal style. This Veterans Day pictorial recognizes their service while celebrating the beauty, confidence, and femininity of the women who wear the uniform.


To those who served, and those who continue to serve, we salute you.
