Talking History: Women in the Military

In honor of Women’s History Month, the Niceville Library is pleased to welcome Dr. Elvira Chiccarelli as she shares her extensive research and knowledge of prominent females who have served in the United States armed forces.

Dr. Elvira Chiccarelli retired from the Air Force active and reserve duty. She deployed several times on humanitarian missions, resulting in 1989 Air Force Reserve Dentist Award. Elvira has a long history of service to Okaloosa County, helping to start a county dental clinic with used dental chairs from Eglin Air Force Base. She provided dental care there for local residents as well as Vietnamese and Polish refugees. She also had a private office in the area for some 32 years.
