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!

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.

We laid my mother to rest with my father two weeks ago. Beautiful ceremony. Two members of the Honor Guard carried her urn to the gravesite and the Army Chaplain delivered a wonderful tribute. My mother served in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) from 1946-47 as a cryptographer. She was stationed in postwar Berlin (scary place), Heidelberg and London. While waiting for a train in Bremen, she was approached by a charming Army captain, who jokingly asked for a bite of her sandwich. She was smitten and 18 months later they were married in her hometown of Abingdon, Virginia. She was a lovely, beautiful woman and a great American. Miss her every day.

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.

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.
@GeorginaFrei

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.

@@GeorginaFrei "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 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.
