Approximately 7,000 American women served overseas as nurses during the Vietnam War.  Front line nurses worked in high stress conditions sometimes under fire, during rocket attacks, and in blackouts to provide vital care and emotional support for injured soldiers.  Grace Chalmers was a nurse, "an Angel in fatigues".  She cared for injured soldiers in both World War 2 and in Vietnam.  Pictured below are some of her keepsakes from her 28 years as an Army nurse where she positively affected many people.
