Women In White

The attack of Pearl Harbor Such a devastating day, Unexpected bombs, hit and destroyed The Hawaiian Islands. Other than the brave men Who lost their lives trying to Defend our blessed country, there was another group who stepped up To help with such a hopeless disaster. They were not men at all, But women in white Wearing a red cross on their hat. These women who took on big challenges, That not only changed their lives, but ours today. Even though we had lost thousands Those women tried their best to give them life, Some failed, but never gave up, Even when they were exhausted and traumatized. They were diligent and caring We called them nurses, but they were more than that, They were heroes, the angels of Pearl Harbor.

Yes, nurses are so often taken for granted and forgotten about, especially in times of war or disaster. This is a wonderful tribute. Beautifully written. Love, Nigel

A lovely tribute to nurses everywhere. There have been nurses serving in war times throughout history. A nice tribute to all of them, Amber. ~ Blessings...Carrie
