A World War II veteran<\/a>, who was one of the first women to ever be deployed overseas, shared her incredible story of service and sacrifice in honor of Independence Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

101-year-old Navy veteran Pat Rudd joined the military decades ago because she missed her brother so much and wanted to follow in his footsteps, she told Martha MacCallum<\/a> on the Fox News Channel special “Home of the Brave.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

She ultimately joined Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service (WAVES), which was the legislation that paved the way for her to become one of the first females to deploy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I was in the Senate and I happened to be there the day they passed the bill for us to go overseas, and I was so excited that I went back straight to quarters and signed up for volunteering to go,” Rudd said Tuesday. “And I was chosen for of one of them to be in the first 200 to go, and so that was a thrill to begin with.”<\/p>\n

Rudd said she worked with her brother before they joined the military<\/a>, and after he joined the service, she said she was inspired to continue her quest to follow in her brother’s life path.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He was a gunner’s mate and was at sea most of the time,” she recalled. “And I never did get to see him when I was in Hawaii. He came right after I left\u2026 but we worked in a factory together before we ever went in the service, and so after he left, I kind of wanted to go, so that’s why I joined.”<\/p>\n

While she was in the military, she played a key role in teaching sailors to read and write and also worked in the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She shared an emotional story of how she was able to aid sailors in communicating with their families<\/a> while they were away at sea.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“As far as my duty was concerned, I was assigned to the education office, where I taught illiterates to where they could read and write, and what a joy it was to have a boy come and say, I got a letter from my mom and I can read it.,” Rudd said in an emotional recount.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MacCallum asked her if she remembered any patients from the military hospital that had an impact on her.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rudd said she met one man while she was out dancing in Seattle one night, and the pair became fast friends.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“It was about three months later, and I got a call from the hospital that somebody wanted to see me,” Rudd said. “And I walked the halls to see if I could find him, because that’s what you had to do. It was just rows of beds of injured.”<\/p>\n

“I found that that was my friend and so I cried, and he said, ‘Don’t cry. I’ll be in California shortly playing golf,’ and that was the end of my sight for him. And I heard from him later, but that was it. So that was the worst thing I went through.”<\/p>\n

Rudd, who is one of ten children, has continued her life of service post-military though needlework at VA hospitals.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
