Very well deserved and I have always had the highest respect for this lady. Semper Fi Doc.
What a true trailblazer and humanitarian, she was her own person and loved the fact she wore her own style. She deserves to be remembered and honored for the amazing person she was, an example to all women ❤️

There should be a movie about her.
i have just learned of this second md another with Blackwell. how did i not know? mary walker is a treasure
Western MARYLANDER here! I often visit Antietam Battlefield Sharpsburg MD. What many people do not know is that 8 women , dressed as soldiers fought at that battle , the single bloodiest battle of the Civil War . 7 fought for the UNION , two as young as 15 years of age. A dead CONFEDERATE woman was found on the Cornfield by a Massachusetts Burial party. September 17, 1862! Every December 23,000 Luminary bags are placed on the battlefield to remember the fallen . History we were never taught!
I learned about Her when I was 7 in 1977 ...
She was a leader..different..one of a kind.
Leave it to President Carter to restore her medal that never should have been taken in the first place. A shameful piece of history was reversed, but she had to endure the cost.
If you saw combat, to me you are a Medal of Honor recipient.
❤❤❤ bad female right here
♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
INCREDIBLE STORY OF A REMARKABLE WOMAN.! She gave her ALL. GOT FAŔ LESS THAN SHE DESERVED.! PROOF that Courage,Skill,& Sacrifice are Universal Virtues. Regardless of Gender,Race or Creed.!
Hero,Shero,Heroine, pick your own label.😊
She wore a white blouse, floppy straw hat, and the pants with a major's stripe on the battlefield. It wasn't just her long hair that helped identify her as a woman. Also, treating the wounded where they fell during battle constituted "conspicuous gallantry" in every sense.
👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👩⚕️
I agree with her. An amendment should not have been necessary for the right to vote. Being a citizen is enough.
