The U.S. Army Women’s Museum at Fort Gregg-Adams is officially removing and replacing an exhibit recognizing transgender soldiers’ contributions to the Army after first covering up the display last month.

The museum received the order to remove the display from the Center of Military History in February. This decision came in the wake of President Donald Trump’s executive order on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), which instructed all U.S. agencies and departments to “take down all outward-facing media that inculcate or promote gender ideology.”

While the entire museum is dedicated to honoring women’s contributions to the Army, only the exhibits recognizing transgender soldiers will be affected by the executive order, museum spokesperson F. Lee Reynolds told The Progress-Index.

1. I'm surprised they haven't ordered the closing of the museum itself. Yet.

2. I just waiting for the Vietnam War Women's Memorial (statue) to come down

It just to the side of the Vietnam War Memorial (the wall). 11 or 13 US military women died in Vietnam.

Gregg-Adams is home to the quartermaster museum. My stepfather, big history buff, took us there when I was about 12 years old.

3. Ugh!

They are trying to erase people from history. How can we stop this?
