Celebrate America 250 and Women's History Month at the library! Join us for a History Alive! presentation with Colonel Ruby Bradley. When Bradley retired from the U.S. Army in 1963, she was the most decorated woman in American military history. A native of Spencer, West Virginia, Bradley was captured by the Japanese in the Philippines in 1941 and was a POW until 1945. She continued her work as a nurse in the prison camp. She was named Chief Nurse for the Eighth Army in 1951 and supervised over 500 nurses in Korea. Bradley attained the rank of Colonel in 1958.
This presentation is a History Alive! program of the West Virginia Humanities Council.
