During World War II, it was every American's patriotic duty to serve the war effort in some way.For many of the men, that was putting on a uniform and going to fight. For a lot of women, it meant joining the women's branches of each armed service, which were separate then. H. Lorraine Eades, as she was known then, was finishing up nursing school at John C. Proctor Hospital in Peoria when an Army recruiter came to visit and asked the students if they would serve.
