Answering the Call: Nurses of Post 122, allows readers to delve into, and better understand nurses´roles in the Pacific, European, and the China-Burma-India Theaters during World War II, the Korean, and the Vietnam War. Using a combination of nursing skills, compassion, and self-discipline, these brave women saved lives and comforted the dying. Nurses signed for duty wearing their best dresses and stockings. They came forward to serve, as their brothers had. Some enlisted looking for adventure and a paying job, all came to answer the call of their country. Each nurse who served did so voluntarily, and each found that her life was forever changed. Nurses found a world of tent hospitals and bombed out buildings. Many slept in rat infested living quarters in the tropics. Some struggled to stay warm in Alaska. Others sweltered in the New Guinea heat. The Nurses of Post 122 traded high heels for combat boots, dresses for uniforms, and learned to hold on tighter to helmets than they ever had to their pocketbooks.
