WAC: A challenge to American women (May 1945)
A challenge to American women
More than 36,000 wounded soldiers a month now come from overseas. Male hospital corpsmen are leaving for the battle fronts to provide lifesaving care on and near the line. Women must fill the ranks at home.
Wacs without experience are specially trained to do important clerical and technical hospital work. The vital need is a challenge to womanhood and patriotism. Men who have bled for America require the care you can help to give.
The nation will honor you as a Wac. Valuable training, with a soldier’s pay, leads to higher rank, greater earnings, a peacetime career. Benefits of the G. I. Bill of Rights will be yours. You will work closely with high caliber men.
