To the family and friends of Marjorie Boone,
I am a member of the Army Nurse Corps Association and on behalf of the organization I extend our deepest sympathy to you. Today’s army nurses stand on the shoulders of the courageous and dedicated army nurses who served before them. Marjorie certainly was one of them and we are grateful for her selfless service to the United States of America and her service in Vietnam. With sincerest condolences,
