As nurses, instructors and recruiters, these Kansas women served in WWII 

As World War II raged across the globe, some 350,000 American women joined the armed forces, serving in branches including the Women’s Army Corp (WAC), the Coast Guard Women’s Reserve (SPARS), the Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASP), the Marine Corps Women’s Reserve (WR) and the Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES). Earlier this year, The Eagle asked the community to share stories about Kansas women who answered the call to serve in the war in any capacity. In honor of Veterans Day, here are some of them, as told by their families and friends.
