Nisei WACs | conclusion

Pacific Paratrooper

If you were asked to describe a “soldier,” what kind of image does that word conjure up in your mind?  History fails to give recognition to the Asian American women who contributed to the U.S.’s victory by taking on many different roles during World War II to assist the armed forces.

Starting in 1943, Japanese women, known as “Nisei”, were accepted by the Army Nurse Corps (ANC) and the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) to work as nurses and doctors to provide medical care and as Military Intelligence Service officers and linguists.. Though Asian American women served many important functions in World War II, they are still overlooked or completely ignored in modern discourse.

Ousadia

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Ousadia. Acreditar em quem você é, sobretudo, saber trabalhar o seu potencial, mostrando principalmente que é capaz, sem se preocupar com aprovação dos outros (essa é uma forma de liberdade a mais que o indivíduo tem) e, que aumenta a confiança não só em si, mas no que faz, atua. De modo geral, ousadia é a palavra que impulsiona a vida, faz diferença.

The Sanctuary

From Behind the Pen

Where is your place of protection and refuge

Everyone has some type of safe haven, where they can escape for a bit of respite and recharging. Do you have a favorite place, your personal sanctuary, where you feel you can quietly unwind and fall into the arms of tranquility? If you don’t have one or haven’t thought about it, then by all means find that place as soon as you can. It could be a quiet nook in your home or a quaint spot in your backyard. You cannot imagine the benefits, and how therapeutic your sanctuary can be.
