Treasury Salute - Lt. Mary L. Roberts

Today we have an episode of the Treasury Salute. These programs were produced by the U.S. Treasury Department as part of the war bond effort. Each episode told the story of a serviceman or woman. This episode, which aired this week in 1944, shares the tale of Lt. Mary L. Roberts, a surgical nurse serving in Europe during the Italian campaign. Roberts was the first nurse to receive a Silver Star in World War 2.
