In this unique work, author Cindy Weigand chronicles the personal experiences of various female veterans during World War II. Now residing in Texas, these courageous women tell their individual stories, describing such experiences as enduring troop train rides and physical exams. They share personal hardships such as the loss of loved ones and the difficulty of recovery, both emotionally and physically, from the rigors and demands of war. In a time when women were easily brushed aside and ignored, Weigand focuses on the strength of these extraordinary Americans determined to serve their country.
