Mary Reinhart and Marian Riggs demonstrates the OLD and the NEW uniforms at the Grand Showing of the 1970 uniforms for women at Independence National Historical Park during Freedom Week, June 27, 1970. As you can see, the name tags were changed and the USNPS ornaments replaced by a small patch. Riggs is wearing a man's straw 'Summer' hat in place of the authorized women's version. NPSHPC-Cecil W. Stoughton photo-HFC#70-256-1-1A

This photograph of Carole Scanlon, taken the same day as above, shows that hat clearly, as well as the 1970 Class A woman's dress uniform. The hat had only a single vent hold in front instead of the 3 on either side like the men's hat. NPSHPC-Cecil W. Stoughton photo-HFC#70-255-1
