Both were mounted on a blue background.

Louise Dietz was a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army Nurse Corps from January 1945 to July 1946. She was indoctrinated into the Army life and how to parade while in Atlantic City. She spent 4 months at Fort Dix, NJ, before being sent on to Pearl Harbor, HA. Later, she sailed on the U.S. Hospital Ship Sindai that struggled through a typhoon on the island of Okinawa. Luckily, it was not carrying patients at the time. She went on to Japan and served in an army airborne station hospital.
