The DMV Chapter had the privilege of attending the official opening ceremony of the British Embassy & Uniting US Art Exhibition 2025 Thanks to Nik Turk, SO2, and his team for making it happen.  We had the distinct honor of meeting Princess Marie of Denmark.  It was our first time meeting a real live Princess in person. She was delighted and thanked us, the National Association of Black Military Women (NABMW), for our miltary service. The event was hosted by Rear Admiral Timothy Christopher Woods, CBE, a senior Royal Navy Officer who serves as Head of the British Defense Staff and Defence Attaché in

Washington, D.C.

 

The event was a partnership with the US Veteran run non-profit Uniting US. All of the artists were either currently serving, veterans or family members of US personnel. The exhibition focused on promoting mental health and wellbeing through the healing arts and included paintings, sculpture, metalwork and wood carvings.
