On this Memorial Day, we remember the nurses who lost their lives in combat. Five in particular, but we remember and honor them all. (Left to right)
Capt. Jennifer Moreno died on October 5, 2013, in Afghanistan, heroically aiding wounded soldiers during a special operations mission.
Second Lieutenant Helen Mary Roehler was killed in a plane crash in the Aleutian Islands during World War II, serving in a one of the most remote and harshest terrains.
Second Lieutenant Ernestine Koranda lost her life in a plane crash in the Pacific during World War II while on leave to visit her fiance.
Second Lieutenant Carol Ann Drazba perished in a helicopter crash in Vietnam on February 18, 1966.
First Lieutenant Sharon Lane, the only American servicewoman killed by direct enemy fire in Vietnam, lost her life on June 8, 1969, during a rocket attack on her hospital in Chu Lai.
God Bless these 5 nurses and all the nurses of war who made the ultimate sacrifice.🙏🏼
