They're Celebrating the 250th Anniversary of the US Army This Weekend...

...so let's tell a real story about a real medic!

I'm not sure if this never-reprinted tale from Parents Magazine Press' True Comics #33 (1943), is, in fact, true!

But it is just unusual enough to be believable.

One of the most important figures in nursing history...not just for her nursing skills!

Profiled in a never-reprinted feature in DC's Wonder Woman V1N2 (1942) by writer Alice Marble and illustrator Sheldon Moldoff.

Then, in 1944, she received a cover-featured...

...and also never-reprinted, more detailed feature in Parents Magazine Press' True Comics #34, by (sadly) unknown creatives.

Note: The scans are from a hardbound compilation of True Comics, so the pages couldn't lie flat on the scanner.

An Amazing Nurse!

An Amazing Woman!

An Amazing American!

An appropriate post for the 4th of July weekend, eh?

Who says comics ain't educational?

Certainly not us!

And this never-reprinted real-life story from Parents Magazine Press' True Comics #1 (1941) proves it!

Fascinating!

A perfect example of the scientific method at work!

And, yes, that's the Dr Walter Reed the hospital in Washington DC is named after...and this is why it's named after him!
