Dear Ms McKeogh and family,
Several years ago I contacted Mrs. McKeogh after the dedication of the US Army Women's Museum at Ft Lee, VA (May 2001). A young WAC, Pearlie Hargrave, was one of the women featured in an exhibit of WW-2 WACs. She was standing proudly by her car in North Africa.
My condolences on her passing. I'd hoped to meet her, and to take her on a visit to the Museum. Unfortunately she was having some health problems; I didn't get back. I am so sorry! We spoke on the phone a couple of times, and she was delightful to talk to.
The young women of WW-2 who broke with tradition and joined the militry were serving their country in a way never before possible. The WAAC began with many thinking it would fail -- that it was an overwhelming success is due to the dedication, ability, and hard work of the young women like Pearlie who made it such a success.
After the war, General Eisenhower was a leader in the move to make women a permanent part of the military.
I am so sorry that she's gone.
Sincerely yours,
