Abstract: Virginia Sneed was a young Cherokee nurse from the Qualla Boundary when she joined the US Army Nurse Corps to fight fascism and promote democracy around the world. Despite facing racial discrimination as a child, she volunteered for overseas duty in World War II and during the Korean conflict. Her unselfish service to our country in the face of grave danger deserves remembrance and honor.
