March is Women's History Month and we've got a ton stories about of inspiring women to celebrate! Including new female recruits in Japan's mostly male military. Plus, in this week's Buckeye Beat we visit the National First Ladies Historic Site in Canton.

The Special Olympics are underway in Abu Dhabi - we learn about the awesome organization and its athletes.
