Summary:
Hazel Von Roeder, U.S. Air Force, WW II/Korea (Interviewed Jan. 27, 2010) As much as she wanted to, and even volunteered to.... Hazel Von Roeder’s tours of duty during World War II and Korea never sent her overseas. But as any veteran will tell you, stateside service was just as essential to the war effort as any other. Hazel’s skills as an Army nurse took her to Fort Bliss’ famed William Beaumont Army Hospital during World War II, an then to Kelly Air Force Base in San Antonio as a Flight Nurse with the 1734th MATS during the Korean Conflict. Her story of service is indeed one of courage and dedication.
