Ada Kuhn’s Legacy and Military Family Support
from Roanoke News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
This Memorial Day, the National D-Day Memorial honored Ada Hossler Kuhn, a 106-year-old WWII veteran and tireless advocate who passed away in January. A trailblazer who joined the Women’s Army Corps to see the world beyond her Pennsylvania farm, Ada served as a transport driver and teletypist—and inspired her daughter, Rhonda, to become a nurse practitioner and anesthesia nurse during Desert Storm. Ada attended every ceremony since moving to Bedford, driven by an unstoppable spirit that carried her well past 100. This year’s event also spotlighted the urgent need to support military families, with Ami Waldron sharing her grief after losing her son, Codey Donahue, in 2022. Now leading Mothers of Veteran Suicide, Waldron fights to end the stigma around veteran suicide and PTSD, offering critical support to families navigating unimaginable loss. Her mission: ensure no other mother walks this path alone. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
