What a great lady! The WASPs provided great support for the servicemen. It’s too bad it took so long for them to be recognized and honored for their service. Although Vi was little she was mighty! She certainly lived those words. Enjoyed this account very much, Tara!
Violet "Vi" Thurn Cowden was a brave American Patriot and Hero in my book. What she and the other women who served during WW2 accomplished can't be overlooked. With Vi and the other women, we would have had much more difficulty winning the war. While not in a recognized military designation, their accomplishments were invaluable and in some cases, more valuable than men in other support military roles.
Thank you Vi for your service and may God bless you and all who have served or currently serve this great nation. Each filled an important role as cogs in the wheel.
Violet Cowden was a special kind of lady without a doubt in my mind. She went above and beyond just to meet the weight requirements enough to fly. A determined lady that wouldn’t be denied doing what she loved to do, for the Country she loved.
Thank you for the post. Love reading about these women who broke the barriers to serve their country. Violet Cowden was quite a woman. It is sad that it has taken so long to bring these gals into the forefront and to become recognized for what they accomplished.
