The US Army memorialized TV icon Betty White’s death Friday by noting the Golden Girl’s volunteer service to the country in the 1940s.
“We are saddened by the passing of Betty White,” said a tweet from the Army’s official account.
“Not only was she an amazing actress, she also served during WWII as a member of the American Women’s Voluntary Services. A true legend on and off the screen.”
White, who died Friday at age 99, had joined the group as a volunteer in 1941 when she was just 19 years old. She drove a truck, delivering supplies to the Hollywood Hills, White told Cleveland Magazine in a 2010 feature.
