Ruby Grace Bradley was captured along with many other American service men and women when the Japanese invaded the Philippines at the end of 1941 following the attack on Pearl Harbor. Even though the ruthless Japanese guards didn't allow her to treat the sick and wounded in the POW camp, she continued to take care of the them, risking her life to do so. She survived World War II and also served in Korea during that war. She is one of the most decorated women in United States military history.
