Profiles Spring-Summer 2014 HFDFW


 

On December 7, 1941 Miriam was attending Ohio Wesleyan College in Delaware. Miriam enlisted into the U.S. Army on October 23, 1944.  

During her wartime experience, Miriam taught combat amputees to learn how to drive cars using hand controls and also how to use their prosthetics in everyday life.

Her experience doing this work as a 1st. Lieutenant made her realize how important it was to help people with handicaps to be as normal as possible.

Miriam was discharged on June 28, 1947.
