00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,000


2
00:00:07,559 --> 00:00:10,539
I don't know why she joined but she 

3
00:00:10,550 --> 00:00:13,779
joined , uh , 1941 . She arrived right 

4
00:00:13,789 --> 00:00:16,209
into , uh , Hawaii . You know , about 

5
00:00:16,219 --> 00:00:19,030
maybe six months before the , uh , the 

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,649
bombing . I had three brothers and 

7
00:00:21,659 --> 00:00:25,010
three sisters and Anne was the oldest 

8
00:00:25,020 --> 00:00:28,780
of the clan . She , uh , went to , uh , 

9
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:32,319
Eastern Eastern P A nursing 

10
00:00:32,330 --> 00:00:35,840
school and then joined the Navy in 1940 . 

11
00:00:41,250 --> 00:00:43,194
When you think about it , the only 

12
00:00:43,194 --> 00:00:45,450
people in the military , if I'm right 

13
00:00:45,549 --> 00:00:48,669
were the , uh , nurses at Pearl Harbor . 

14
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,139
I don't think , uh , anybody else came 

15
00:00:51,150 --> 00:00:54,860
in until close to 1943 45 . 

16
00:01:00,009 --> 00:01:02,590
The proof is in the paperwork that 

17
00:01:02,599 --> 00:01:05,769
these women finally became lieutenants 

18
00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:09,730
officially up to then they weren't 

19
00:01:09,849 --> 00:01:11,360
really count as such .
