Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Gravesite of U.S. Air Force Col. Ruth Lucas in Section 64 of Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va., Feb. 8, 2022. During World War II, Lucas enlisted in the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) and was one of the few Black women to attend what is now the Joint Forces Staff College in Norfolk, Virginia. She transferred from the Army to the Air Force in 1947, and in 1968 became the first Black woman promoted to colonel in the Air Force. In recognition of her work to develop educational programs for service members, she also received the Defense Meritorious Service Medal, awarded for outstanding non-combat service.
