Got any questions about the Women in Military Service for America Memorial Foundation? Thought so. You're in luck. Jim Weiskopf has just become director of development and public relations for the Washington based organization. Jim retired earlier this year as a colonel after 25 years of army service, most recently as the publicaffairs officer for the U.S. Army Military District of Washington. In this important post he was official spokesman for Arlington National Cemetery and was the armed forces' public affairs director for the two largest military parades in our history—both for Desert Storm, in Washington and New York. Now Jim will try to raise funds and awareness for a memorial to the 1.8 million women who have served in our armed forces throughout history. A monument will be built at the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery.
