THIS WAS A RED-LETTER DAY for Jim the soldier who had lost the use of Wj leg at
Salerno. For this day he walked strictly alone for the first time In months. To Jim, it
was a miracle. To the Wac who had coached him so long and so patiently, he said, "Sister,
if I live to be a million, I'll always remember you for this,"
This is A world war. The most
terrible of all recorded events in hu
man history.
And this is what the Wacs the women
soldiers of our Army are doing about it :
Working in critical hospital jobs. Help- .
ing to restore the broken bodies and
spirits of fighting men.
Working as lip-readers. Helping blind
men to see again through knowledge of
Braille. Working as laboratory techni
cians. As pharmacists. As psychiatric' as
sistants. As ambulance drivers.
Working in control towers. Making
strategy maps for invasion.
Manning the giant switchboards that
send combat orders winging to tensely
waiting bomber crews.
Working night and day at vital jobs.
Jobs that will speed the day of liberation
and give us peace again.
These are the women "they'll never
forget"...
Gallantly, a new page is being written
into American history by the women of
the Women's Army Corps.
