— THE ANGELS OF BATAAN AND CORREGIDOR

In honor of the valiant American military women who gave so much of themselves in the early days of World War II, they provided care and comfort to the gallant defenders of Bataan and Corregidor, they lived on a starvation diet, shared the bombing, strafing, sniping, sickness and disease while working endless hours of heartbreaking duty, these nurses always had a smile, a tender touch and a kind word for their patients, they truly earned the name:

We acknowledge with deep appreciation the twenty Philippine nurses who assisted their American friends in both hospitals of Bataan and Corregidor. Theirs was a job well done. They were a credit to the United States and the Republic of the Philippines.
