With vision and determination, American women have helped build our great Nation. On Women's Equality Day, we remember the dedication of women who overcame many obstacles in order to secure the right to vote. The struggle for women's rights is a story of strong women willing to take the lead and pave the way toward equal voting rights for all American citizens. In 1848, a group of determined women came together in Seneca Falls, New York, to proclaim that "all men and women are created equal," and demand suffrage.

ELIZABETHTOWN — A local shop is providing thousands of cups of morning Joe for G.I. Joes.

Last October, Arnold’s Coffee Café on Ring Road began collecting pounds of coffee purchased by customers and has shipped them to troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.

In return, soldiers have sent letters, certificates and an American flag to the café to show their gratitude.
