The Women's Army Corps is examined and
analyzed by former Ft. Monmouth Command Historian Melissa Ziobro in
the latest World War II Lecture at Brookdale Community College. For
the spring 2013 series of lectures, we are offering a series of
audio interviews with the speakers to generate interest and
attendance for the live lectures. In past years, we've produced
video podcasts from the lecture series, but we've put them on
hiatus while we continue to seek sponsorship funding for this
important series of lectures.
