One Of The First Female Soldiers To Join The Army During World War II Has Died
By Richard Chin, Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
on July 6, 2018

Looking for a great career? Or know another veteran, service member, or military spouse who is? Get started at Hirepurpose.

When Helen Miller became one of the first women to serve in the U.S. Army during World War II, she promised her parents she wouldn’t volunteer for overseas duty.

Still, she stepped forward when the Army needed women soldiers in England to support the D-Day invasion. The Woodbury woman later appeared in an Emmy-winning documentary about her military service.
