Women of World War II When people think of war they often limit their images to the male soldier but thru out history women have answered the call to serve their country in wartime. Join us this Thursday June 24th as we hear the wartime stories of two women who served during WWII. Betty Krause served in the United States Navy WAVES from 1944-1946. She was stationed at the San Diego Naval Hospital as a Hospital Apprentice First Class. Mrs. Krause will be joined by Dorothy Gardner who served as a nurse with 156th General Hospital in England. Also joining us will be Jeff Meek a WWII historian, staff writer and columnist for the Hot Springs Village Voice. His columns include, “They Answered the Call” and “The Veteran's Vault.” Mr. Meek has conducted over 130 veteran oral histories for the Veterans History Project at the The Library of Congress in Washington DC. Each of the ladies will tell their stories and Jeff Meek conduct a round table discussion afterwards. Don't miss this opportunity to learn about an often overlooked piece of American History.
