Seventy-five years ago, the first post-World War II Memorial Day ceremonies were held throughout Europe at makeshift cemeteries dotted with fresh graves.
Others were still on alert. Doctors and nurses, like Lt. Katherine Flynn, were still hunkered down in tents. They were on tap to head directly from Germany to Japan, if needed. Like today, doctors and nurses were on the front lines, standing ready.in World War II. Like many of her classmates, Kate Flynn joined the Army Nurse Corps right out of nursing school in June 1943.
Sometimes they were too close to the battle. Kate learned to recognize the sight and sounds of enemy aircraft, tanks and troops. When the shelling got close, she and her fellow nurses would roll the wounded out of their cots and lie on the ground with them, holding the trembling soldiers until it was safe to help them up again.
Then Kate and her fellow nurses packed up their gear and equipment and moved again, following the battle forward. They moved on average every 10 days. It became routine. Her life was tied to the cycle of set up, reception, horror, treatment, prayers, tear down, move. She was always exhausted.
