Summary

[edit]
Description Leaves change color in Section 21 next to the Nurse's Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia, Oct. 23, 2017. The granite statue of a nurse in uniform, sculptured by Frances Rich, honors the nurses who served in the U.S. armed forces in World War I, many of whom rest among the hundreds of nurses buried in Section 21 (also called the "Nurses Section"). On July 13, 1970, U.S. Navy Capt. Delores Cornelius, deputy director, Navy Nurse Corps, requested authority to install a bronze plaque over the existing inscription on the Nurses Memorial. The inscription at that time simply read "Army and Navy Nurses." Authority was granted Nov. 20, 1970, to place a 12-inch-by-18-inch bronze plaque over the carved inscription. The current inscription, in raised letters, on the plaque reads: "This Monument Was Erected in 1938 and Rededicated In 1971 To Commemorate Devoted Service To Country And Humanity By Army, Navy, and Air Force Nurses."
