http://www.nursingworld.org/centenn/cent1940.htm

Extractions: World War II The bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1942 catapulted the United States into World War II. Graduates quickly responded to the military's call for nurses, leaving the home front understaffed. The need for nurses was great in all aspects of service: in hospitals, in the community, and in industry. Report of Committee on Resolutions, Report of the 32nd Biennial Convention (p.80), American Nurses Association Resolution, May 1940 After careful consideration of nursing needs, the National Nursing Council for War Services (1940), chaired by ANA president Julia Stimson, developed a plan to increase the number of nurses in the country as quickly as possible. The plan, introduced to Congress by Frances Payne Bolton, congresswoman from Ohio, created the US Cadet Nurse Corps. Under this Act, the United States Public Health Service subsidized the entire education of nursing students including tuition, fees, books, uniforms and monthly stipends. To obtain the benefits, a student was required to promise to engage in essential military or civilian nursing for the duration of the war. Over 179,000 young women enrolled in the Corps. "The Army nurse corps must have 10,000 nurses in the shortest possible time. Campaigns on all fronts are resulting in about 12,000 casualties a week ..."

For lovers of the desert, the Acacus region of the Libyan Sahara offers an unassailable attraction with its wild, spectacular scenery and prehistoric cave paintings.

http://home.thirdage.com/military/friends2idww2/

Extractions: Sponsored by Friends of the U.S. Second Infantry Division, World War II The Friends of the U.S. Second Infantry Division are a group of folks who are interested in events that happened during world war two, especially in events that happened to the U.S. Second Infantry Division fighting in the European Theatre of Operations (ETO). These men saved the world. And it is to these men that this website is dedicated with our appreciation. But you do not have to be a veteran of World War II to join us. Many of us are friends and relatives of a World War II 2nd Div. vet. Or you just may have an interest in that war. You are welcome to join us. You can become a member by joining our www.egroups.com website dedicated to the 2nd Div. vets of WWII. Membership is free and you can find our site thru a link in one of the following pages. Note: If you like war stories then I recommend you look at our links section here. We have an active web site where info and discussions take place at yahoogroups.com. You may be a combat veteran of WWII or a relative of a man who was one. You are most welcome to share, ask questions, and participate with others. All I ask is that you do not hurt or embarrass someone else. A lot of veterans still carry a deep wound and reliving the pain of those days is like ripping a scab off of a healing wound. They went through a lot for our sakes on the battlefield and we owe each one a great debt for his courage, self sacrifice, and willingness to lay down his life on our behalf.
