History of National Vet Girls Rise Day
The origin of National Vet Girls Rise Day is based on the history of the Revolutionary War in the United States. When the women set off to war with their husbands to serve on the farm with domestic jobs as cooks, launderers, and nurses. Although in the war they contributed a great deal to the cause, but in the army, they were not allowed to become official members.
The United States allowed the recruitment of women as nurses, and these nurses did not have military status during the Civil War.
Indeed, the contributions of the women during that period were very helpful and truly meaningful. A corps of military nurses that would allow women to serve had been requested by the war ministry.
It was only during the last two years of World War I that women were allowed to serve as nurses in the army. In addition, women were also allowed to join the war in different roles.
According to recorded data, shortly after that, more than 33,000 female nurses and women supporting the army died in the line of duty.
