Lackawanna Historical Society Program Honors Women Vets

On Valentine’s weekend, the Lackawanna Historical Society will present “A Love Letter to My Sister Soldiers” on Sunday, February 16, at 2 pm at the Society’s headquarters, the Catlin House, 232 Monroe Avenue, Scranton. Join Janice Gavern to share stories and honor the women currently serving today, including Capt. Lacie Hester, an Air Force airman who was recently awarded a Silver Star for her performance in an enormous drone fight.

Janice is a Scranton native and Air Force Veteran who continues to serve her country as the deputy commander for Women Veterans Issues at the 15th District American Legion Department of Pennsylvania. She is also the historian for Gardner Warner American Legion Post 154 in Montrose, Pennsylvania, and the acting historian for Gladys Watkins American Legion Post 550, which once existed in Scranton.
