              <text>The WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service) were established on July 30, 1942 as a women's reserve corp for the United States Navy. WAVES were restricted to work within the United States. Many worked in Washington in &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/58"&gt;buildings on the Mall&lt;/a&gt;, some of which stood where the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/62"&gt;Korean War Memorial&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/63"&gt;Vietnam Veteran's Memorial&lt;/a&gt; stand today. In 1944, the WAVES held a rally on the &lt;a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/36"&gt;Washington Monument&lt;/a&gt; Grounds to celebrate the second anniversary of the establishment of the corps. In 1948, a law passed which granted women permanent status in the US armed services, and former WAVES became members of the regular service.</text>
