It is sort of a composite biography of those who served starting from childhood in the Depression and continuing on to post-war experiences. I have talked to many male veterans but have had trouble getting in touch with women who served in theater during the war. I would like to survey or interview women who served during this time. I would also be grateful for any female veterans willing to read through my chapters to ensure that I'm not missing the mark on what it was really like in Japan or Korea.

Comments: I am searching for my counsin whom I have never met for a family reunion. His birth name was George Govoni and was born sometime around the the early 1950's. His birth father's name is Thomas Govoni from Massachusetts and I do not know his mother's name. It is possible that his mother was an Army nurse but I am not sure. They married while on active duty in the Army, I believe they were stationed in North or South Carolina. Shortly after George was born, they divorced and our family has never seen or heard from George. I do not have very much to go on so I am hoping that someone reads this message and will be able to help me in my search for my cousin. George has 3 half sisters and 1 half brother and a huge loving family who desperately wants him to be in our lives. Please, if anyone has any information please contact me. Thank all of you who have taken the time to read this and best of luck in your search for loved ones. God Bless.
Sincerely,
Sue

Comments: Need to know the date the USAF changed from the WWII style AAF Flight Nurse Wings to the USAF style Flight Nurse Wings?
Also need to know how many different versions of the USAF style Flight Nurse Wing have existed since it replaced the old AAF Wing. For example, I have a late 1950's era USAF Flight Surgeon Wing which has horizontal lines in the back of the shield, however I have never seen a Flight Nurse Wing with that shield design. Current Flight Surgeon and Flight Nurse Wings both have a smooth background in the shield.
Also need to know the date the smaller size USAF Woman Officers Cap Badge was authorized, and what Badge was worn prior to it's introduction? The Female Hat included in the USAF Korean War Flight Nurse display has the larger size male Cap Badge on it.
