Major Abbie L. Sweetwine

It has been eleven years since you left. I miss you so much, but I know you are at peace walking on streets of gold reunited with your sisters and mother. Your dedication to humanity is forever carved in history and although you were a humbled spirit that did not ever want much fuss your forever changed the lives of so many. I know Sadie found you when she ran away somewhere over the rainbow bridge. I love you, Aunt Bar...

your grand niece

Your Aunt was a hero and has been recognized again with a Wikipedia page. The page is missing information on her early life and education. Thank Maj. Sweetwine for your service.

Your story, one of duty to country and humanity as a whole, among surely more, still touches hearts today. Thank you Maj Sweetwine.

There are many in the United Kingdom who follow and try to learn from the accidents that happen on our railroads. Harrow, in 1952, taught us about triage and that drivers of trains were not infallible. We learned about triage, and medical disaster management from a small US medical team - amazingly for the time it included Nurse Abbie Sweetman, - few people in England would have met a black woman. That she was able to help the injured and the dying seems to have been a hallmark of this remarkable woman - thank you for the gift she brought to our shores and for the enlightenment that came with her gifts. She remains the angel of platform 6 to this day.
