Col. Julia C. Stimson DSM.
United States Army American Army Nurse Corps
from:Poughkeepsie, NY
Julia Stimson was a military nurse. She was also unstoppable: Born in Missouri, she volunteered for service in 1917, rapidly became superintendent of the entire American Army Nurse Corps in Europe, and was the first woman ever to become a Major in the U.S. Army. When World War II broke out she immediately came out of retirement to recruit nurses for the Allies. Cue a World War II Victory Medal, and a promotion to Colonel in 1948, shortly before she died.
