 | | Young, known to her friends as "Nursie", was a nurse who served as First Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps during World War II, from March 3, 1941 to February 4, 1946. |
 | | When Nursie was confronted with numerous patients who had been injured and she had no way of telling which had already received morphine, she pulled her lipstick out of her pocket and put a "M" on their foreheads so that they would not receive an overdose thus possibly killing them. |
 | | Nursie was a member of numerous veterans' organizations, including the Pearl Harbor Survivors. |
