Description
An account of the resource
This elegant white marble statue of a nurse looks out over the Nurses section (Section 21) of Arlington National Cemetery where 653 Nurses lie. Originally erected in 1938 to honor Army Nurses from World War I, the monument was rededicated in 1971 to honor all Nurses who have served the American military in all wars including the Spanish-American War. The beautiful classical art deco style was designed by a woman sculptor who served in the WAVES in World War II. The current bronze plaque states "To Commemorate Devoted Service to Country and Humanity by Army, Navy and Air Force Nurses".
