Julia Baxter, 80, receives a commemorative Pentagon crystal from Charles L. Cragin, acting undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, at DoD's Women's History Month observance ceremony in the Pentagon. Baxter, honored March 15, 2001, holds the Bronze Star Medal for her service as a field hospital nurse during the Korean War. "I thought we could symbolically thank all (the nurses) who served by thanking you," Cragin told her. She served from April 1945 until she became pregnant and was discharged as a major in 1959.
