She sounds like an amazing woman. Its great to honor the soldiers and all but the nurses/field medics are underappreciated IMO and need more love.

Her long pause when you asked her her feelings on being able to help those soldiers and serve .... wow. A most powerful, gentle, humble, beautiful soul. Thank you for this.

Amazing how many American hero's came from the fringes of our society. From the Navajo code talkers, to the all Japanese 442nd Infantry Battalion the most decorated US unit of WW2 and the all black unit of Tuskegee airmen who escorted bombers (without loss over a period of months) over Europe. History that needs to be remembered. God Bless Marcella LeBeau and all those who have served and have not received the recognition that they deserve.

What a wonderful lady. You can only imagine some of injuries she would have treated. I am so glad she has lived so long she deserves it. Her last words "it was an honour and a privilage" bought a tear to my eyes. She has been awarded France Legion of Honour medal in 2006. "

Excellent. These American, and may I especially say, this South Dakotan treasure, represent the best of the best, with no equals to be found today. I am proud to know my home country produced such women as this. God bless you Nurse LaBaue.

What a beautiful, pleasant, and intelligent lady to be 100. Her mind is as sharp as a razor. Very well spoken. Listening to her was like it happened 10 years ago. She certainly deserves our gratitude for her wonderful efforts while one of our nurses. Im sure she saw more than most and it had to have been difficult for her to see such suffering.

She is wonderful. At 100, she sounds like she is 30 years old. What a nice person.

This nurse had a really tough job during her service during WWII. The Airborne Infantrymen and Regular Infantrymen who went through her ward that lived are grateful for her duty and dedication.

It kills me. These are the people I grew up with all over my neighborhood. The WW2 generation them being gone... Every time I see we have lost one more.. It hurts my soul. But I know they are all up there with with their buddies swinging with the big bands again.

As a fellow veteran please allow me to say "I salute you and stand in awe of your service to the USA."

“Every society needs heroes. And every society has them. The reason we don't often see them is because we don't bother to look. There are two kinds of heroes. Heroes who shine in the face of great adversity, who perform an amazing feat in a difficult situation. And heroes who live among us, who do their work unceremoniously, unnoticed by many of us, but who make a difference in the lives of others. Heroes are selfless people who perform extraordinary acts. The mark of heroes is not necessarily the result of their action, but what they are willing to do for others and for their chosen cause. Even if they fail, their determination lives on for others to follow. The glory lies not in the achievement, but in the sacrifice.” Bless you Marcella Lebeau from across the big pond

More Indians need to seriously consider serving in one of the military branches. Hands down, the best decision I made in my life.

I found no mention of such recognition from our own country. She will be 101 years old in October - - it's not too late. She deserves the highest honor for military service which is awarded by the USA.

Beautiful story beautiful soul. You are doing work recording these heroic people that is priceless. It makes my heart hurt beyond description of all the stories lost forever at the passing of this generation. I think it should be taught in schools ahead of all the nonsense that's out there. When these people talk about the way this country has changed there sad that all these people suffered and died by the million's fighting evil to protect our great country and from the top all the way down are destroying it and were just letting it happen. We need to stand up and remove the corruption and replace it with people of Honor.
