New Mexico has a proud history of military service. We are a state of culturally diverse citizens who are willing to defend our freedom and rights. Over 15,000 women in New Mexico have volunteered to serve in our military. New Mexican women have taken up arms throughout our history and their considerable contributions are a tribute to the pride and honor of all New Mexicans. These three women, who lost their lives in military service, are representative of the region: 1st Lt. Tamara Archuleta, United States Air Force, Los Lunas, NM, Died 23 March 2003; Specialist Lori Piestewa, United States Army, Tuba City, Arizona, Died 23 March 2003; Captain Christel Chávez, United States Air Force, Albuquerque, NM, Died 7 August 2002

Marker data: Official Scenic Historic Markers program, New Mexico Historic Preservation Division, Department of Cultural AffairsMarker texts come from the Division’s published marker spreadsheet, reproduced with the Division’s written permission. Where that spreadsheet records a coordinate, the pin is the Division’s own; where it records only a highway and mile marker, an address, a junction or a named place, or where its coordinate contradicts its own highway, mile and county, the pin is ours, resolved on public road and place data and marked approximate.
