With tears in my eyes, I read about Grace Lally and her fellow nurses aboard the Solace. As an old Navy Corpsman, I am surprised that I have never heard of this story before. Thank you Tara.

Nurse Lally must have been a wonderful person to accomplish a sense of humor and light-heartedness during and following the devastation of Pearl Harbor.

By the grace of God, this ship and these nurses were where they were to survive unscathed at Pearl Harbor on December 7th 1941.

That truly is the kind of thing that wins wars. It's not to be underestimated.
