On Memorial Day....remembering nurses

Please visit the “nurses section” at Arlington Cemetery

 

The granite statue of a nurse in uniform, sculptured by Frances Rich, honors the nurses who served in the U.S. armed forces in World War I, many of whom rest among the hundreds of nurses buried in Section 21 -- also called the "Nurses Section."
