Helene, would have been an exceptional Marine and extremely intelligent to have held an Aviation Military Occupational Specialty. Women Marines served from 1943 1945 with a few hundred out of 23,000
that served continued on into 1946. The majority of women based on their
limited service time were discharged as Private's First Class thru Corporal
for Helene to have climbed two more ranks from Sergeant to the Non-Commissioned rank Staff Sergeant is an indication of her intelligence, leadership skills and continued outstanding performance in her field as a United States Marine.
The following is a quote to departed Sailors and Marines.
Fair Winds and Following Sea's, Helen
Semper Fidelis,
