Son learns depth of mother's sacrifice as WWII nurse

RLINGTON, VA. — It's a busy spring morning in the curved pavilion of the Women in Military Service for America Memorial outside the entrance to Arlington National Cemetery.

But for me, the outside noise disappears when a picture pops up on a computer screen in an alcove. It's my mother.

Proud in her Army nurse's uniform, 2nd Lt. Margaret Taylor of Quincy, Mass., 23 years old at the time, smiles. The screen says she joined the Army in April 1945 and served with the 229th General Hospital in occupied Nagoya, Japan, after spending a month in the Philippines. Campaign and victory medals she won are listed.
