As a Woman Marine Veteran, I can't tell you how much I appreciate you bringing these women's stories to life. I went to Arlington in 1986 when I was a junior in HS and it was during this trip, after visiting the Vietnam Memorial and Arlington, that I really started thinking about joining the military. I wish I would have known about this section so I could have learned about their service. I, as well as every woman who has ever served in the military, owe them a debt of gratitude. Semper Fidelis!

This has been by far my favorite video. Thank you so much for showing and telling the story of all these women. A lot of people don’t know that durning WWII American nurses were held prisoners by the Japanese. These stories need to be told. If it wasn’t for the women doing their part during the war the wounded would not have survived and the soldiers wouldn’t have had homes to come back to. Thank you for this and maybe think about doing a video on the women who stayed behind and held it together for their families.

I would like to add my cousin to your list, though she’s not buried at Arlington, but rather at Cape Canavrel National Cemetary. Her name was Alene B. Duerk. She held a doctorate in nursing, served in WWII from 1943-1946. She then entered academia, but returned to active duty, serving from 1951-1975. She served at various naval bases as an educator of naval nurses, and served as Director of the US Naval Nurse Corps. Her many other accomplishments and commendations are too numerous to list here' but readily available on Wikipedia. Of greatest note, however, was that in 1972, she was honored to be named as the first Woman Rear Admiral of the United Stats Navy. She died on July 21, 2018, at the age of 98. I had the honor of meeting her once at a family reunion, and she was a delightful, intelligent woman. She was also pleased and honored to know that I, and another cousin had chosen nursing as our callings. I retired in 2018, after a 43 year career. I just thought she was worth mentioning, even though she wasn’t buried at Arlington. She had retired to Florida, and called that home.

Hooked to a bed for that length of time, nurses were literally my life blood. Doing EVERYTHING for me. You can imagine.

I've visited this amazing cemetery a couple of years ago. Being a WWII history buff, I saw most of the famous participants graves. My takeaway was how fast time goes by for all of us. Some of those WWII generals and admirals lived into their 80's and had passed away decades ago. My parents always said enjoy your life because it will go by fast. How true that statement is.

Mary Custis Lee became the legal owner of the property after the death of her father in 1857, her husband only managed it. The one person most responsible for the confiscation and destruction of the property was Major General MC Meigs, Quartermaster General, United States Army. The Lee family eventually won a SCOTUS decision giving them a choice between return of the property in antebellum condition or compensation.

Meigs act of hatred was perhaps punished by God in that his son Second Lieutenant John Meigs was killed in action during the Civil War. Perhaps as another act of hatred General Meigs ordered that he be buried in the rose garden, a beautiful place that the Lees loved. He also made sure that the first row of graves was established six feet from the front entrance of the house so that it could never be used as a residence again. Thus did this mean-spirited man show disrespect not only for the Lees but also for George Washington whose family owned Arlington as well as Mount Vernon by virtue of his marriage to his wife Martha Washington.

@@user-lh1hd8ss9i "In antebellum condition" meant that the Lee family had the right to insist that all of the bodies be disinterred and every other sign of the cemetery's existence removed. The family took the money instead, perhaps because both Mr. and Mrs. Robert E. Lee, Sr. were deceased.

RADL Grace Hopper was a neighbor in River House II Apartments (now condos) in Arlington during 1977-1982. Besides being a very petite woman as you mentioned, she was also a very humble and unassuming person. When someone would fuss over her credentials or notoriety, she would often point out that it was another woman, noted mathematician Ada Byron (daughter of English poet Lord Byron), Countess of Lovelace, whose work with Charles Babbage on his Analytical Engine resulted in her often being regarded as the first computer programmer ‐‐ a hundred years earlier.

My mother was a WAVE during WW2 and submitted an entry to the Women in Military Service to America museum. She enlisted in 1943, spent most of her service at the naval hospital in Portsmouth, NH, but, from March 1945 to December 1945, was in Pearl Harbor. Needless to say, several paragraphs for her entry were about her service in Hawaii and just a couple of sentences were about Portsmouth.

However, one of my fondest memories of the many dedication ceremonies was the march from the Lincoln Memorial to the site. My Aunt and i were with a large group of women in uniform currently serving and I carried a photo of my Mom from the early 1950s in her uniform, Several children were with us and the women were singing some rather salty marching songs and they had to "modify" some of the lyrics on the fly for the sake of the kids.

I’ve always had a soft spot for Arlington. Absolute respect for the wonderful ladies that served their country so well. My own late Mum was a WREN in the British Royal Navy 1943-1945 and Dad an Able Seaman on various minesweepers 1941-1945. Thanks JD

I went to Arlington National Cemetery in high school. A very solemn place. My daughter went a few years ago with her high school & sent me a couple of pictures. It's just as beautiful as I remember. Watching your wonderful video makes me want to plan a trip & visit. Thank you.

Loved the house and loved the nurse's section of Arlington. I have family buried there and my great grandfather was named after Gen Lee. He was Robert Lee X and not giving the last name but he was born in the 1870's in Ga.

Thank you JD for this tour. I lived in Maryland for 46 yrs loved all the museums and all history in Maryland and surrounding. Going downtown to the Smithsonian's on a cold winter day was mine and my dad's favorite thing to do. Since he worked for NASA we spent a lot of time in the Air & Space. Thanks for the wonderful volgs.

This is a great video. Thank you for highlighting women who have served our country. I’m endlessly fascinated learning about women’s roles during war especially during WWII (I was dying with those WWII WAVES and USWMC uniforms). Working in that memorial museum would be my dream. It’s amazing that there’s only ever been one woman to have received the Medal of Honor. I feel like there’s a lot of women who served during WWII, Korea, and Vietnam who should have received one.

In the first display case the uniform on the far right is not a US Navy WAVES uniform. It is a US Coast Guard SPAR (Semper Paratus, Aways Ready) uniform. You can tell this by the Coast Guard emblem pins on the cover and lapels and the the United States shield on the lower right sleave.
