Wyoming Army National Guard

A couple of summers ago, the nonprofit StoryCorps hosted an oral history project here in Wyoming in which veterans and their families recorded honest and personal stories about their military experiences. This month, we’re highlighting Colonel Holly Shenefelt and her colleague Jacque Morey as they discuss how gender roles during basic training have changed and why Shenefelt joined the military.

The talk will be presented by Dr. Mark Johnson, a retired career Army officer who is currently writing a two-volume history of the Wyoming Army and Air National Guards. The event will be at the Wyoming Veterans Memorial Museum in Casper on Thursday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m. and will also stream on their Facebook page. This is just one in a series of speakers that have been hosted since January, which the museum seeks to make a regular part of their public offerings.
