Memorial Day is time set aside to honor members of the military.  I wanted to take a moment to remember our nurses who are serving in the armed forces. They take care of the men and women who are taking care of us.

To the men and women who serve as military nurses, whether you be Army, Air Force, Navy, or Marine Core: Thank you for doing what you do!

In celebration of Memorial Day, please enjoy the The following  beautiful examples of nursing military posters and war time propaganda.

Although the following aren’t historic, or posters, they are certainly military. I ran across them when looking for patriotic nursing images and thought they were just awesome. I almost want to get them for my office. I am not a member of the military, but there is something fantastic and spectacular about these “dolls.”

And last, but certainly not least, here is a beautiful memorial to military nurses.

I’ve always found the nursing military posters from the 2 world wars to be beautiful and timeless. These The women depicted in the military posters appear so bold and strong, almost like stone ladies frozen in time forever protecting our country.
 
As you may remember, nursing has its roots in the battlefield. The many progressions in the nursing profession have helped to improve the lives and deaths of nurses caring for wounded soldiers. Florence Nightingale herself gained most of her insight while taking care of the injured of the Crimean war.
 
So to all the “ladies (and gents) with lamps” who have proudly served in the military, we thank for your service.
 
To the nurses who are taking care of our veterans, we thank you.
 
And to those nurses who are working taking care of everyone else, thank you for again sacrificing your time with your family.
