Today in American Military History - 1944
(Note) There were a number of interesting choices today, here's mine:
First woman USN captain, Sue Dauser, Navy Nurse Corps
Sue S. Dauser was the fifth Superintendent of the United States Navy Nurse Corps, guiding the Nurse Corps through World War II. Dauser was appointed Superintendent of the Navy Nurse Corps in 1939. Serving in that capacity throughout the Second World War, she supervised the great wartime expansion of the corps and its activities throughout the world. Under her administration, the membership of the corps grew from 436 to over 11,000 by 1945. In July 1942, she was invested with the permanent relative rank of Lieutenant Commander. In December, she received the temporary relative rank of Captain, the first woman to receive this rank in the history of the US Navy.
