    Roberta Eaton, Marine veteran and part of the Women Marines Association, watches the grave-side ceremony for the formerly oldest living female Marine, Miriam Cohen, who was buried, Nov. 17, in Cypress Hills National Cemetery. The 101-year-old Cohen enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1946 during World War II and again in 1960 during the Korean War. She was the oldest female enlistee of her time at 35-years-old and was part of the first female Marine recruit class.
