Episode 361: Hoes of History: Mary T. Klinker

Mary T. Klinker was a dedicated Air Force flight nurse whose courage and compassion left an indelible mark on history. From her early years in Lafayette, Indiana, to her training at St. Elizabeth's School of Nursing, Mary's path was defined by service, heart, and an unwavering commitment to caring for others. We follow her journey into the U.S. Air Force, where she became a skilled flight nurse and eventually joined the elite Air Force Reserve's Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron. Mary's career put her at the center of some of the most critical humanitarian missions of the Vietnam War era—including the one that would cement her legacy forever: Operation Babylift.
