You Are Needed Now, the posters proclaimed. Join the Army Nurse Corps. And so they did: Over 59,000 American women signed up to serve their country in the war effort. Some joined expecting to experience the romance and adventure of war in faraway places while working to save lives. Many more quickly learned war's harsh realities -- and that their own lives could also be in danger.The Army nurses of World War II served in the United States and abroad, in dense jungles, war-torn villages, and on barren ice fields. Many encountered hardships: bombings, crude living conditions, inadequate food. They also experienced the frustration of receiving lesser pay and privileges than their male counterparts as they worked, sometimes around the clock, to treat the wounded while confronting air raids, the threat of invasion, and capture by the enemy.
Nonetheless, in additon to their devotion to saving lives, some of the most important things the nurses brought to their units were courage and cheer. From holiday parties in makeshift hospitals to fudge making and softball games amid the grueling conditions of war, these angels of mercy brought light -- and life -- to the American forces of World War II

A true cooling blanket
Color: Light Gray, Size: Full / Queen (90"x90")
Hot sleeper paradise! It’s so silky, lightweight and extremely comfortable. I definitely recommend this for anyone who is usually is a hot sleeper or going through menopause (the night sweats are the worse)

Silky comfort
Color: Light Gray, Size: Full / Queen (90"x90")
I love this comforter. I’ve been using a blanket I ordered on another site for the last year that I loved but needed a new one because my son got bubble gum on it. I ordered this one after searching for a a couple of days. I was initially disappointed because it didn’t feel like it had the same cooling factor as my prior blanket. However, after sleeping with this blanket for the past 2 nights, I can say I’m in love. It’s still “cool”, just in a different way. I’m so excited to go lay down. Lol. It feels like a silk sandwich with light, soft comforter material on the inside. Silky and cool. Definitely recommend.

Excellent purchase
I love everything about it. The color, the soft cool texture and it drapes nicely over the sides of my mattress. It’s very beautiful. Perfect for the warmer season. I washed and dried it when I received it and it came out well. I love sleeping with it and so do my cats. A very excellent buy for little money

Fluff them up-put them in the dryer to get shape back!
Style: Medium/Firm, Size: Queen
At first I thought the wrong pillows were sent. Their shape had been pressed out of them. I put them in my dryer on fresh air for half an hour and they were fine. Very nice choice.
