Women during World War 1

 Scene: Two nurses who served in the World War 1 are looking at a scrapbook and talking about their experiences.

Annabelle: Those were the days that I will never forget.

Lee: Who could forget? I can remember being awarded with the Distinguished Service Cross award just like it was yesterday. It was the second highest military honor you know

Annabelle: Yes, didn't this award mean you had great leadership. I also remember being awarded with the Distinguished Service Medal that is the highest noncombat award.

Lee: Yea, your award was for courage. I remember Sue a girl I meet there was disappointed when she was only awarded with the French Croix de Guerre. Only 20 nurses received that award.

Annabelle: Too bad she could have been grateful for it before she died. I felt horrible when she was buried in a cemetery so far away from home.

Lee: Rarely do family members make the long trips to visit their loved ones who died during the war. Many died in far away countries or for wounds.

Annabelle: I am just delighted that I got to serve my country. I'm overjoyed that I got this opportunity because I would never have enough guts in me to be a solider.

Lee: Yes! Neither would I that is a very brave role that people take among themselfs when they join the military. Although what we did was an also risky choice which makes me proud to be who I am and all of us who have served.
