The woman behind the name:
Mary L. Petty was a U.S. Army nurse and captain who trained and guided a team of nurses later deployed to the European Theater during World War II. Her leadership came amid the wider struggle for civil rights in the military, years before official desegregation. Through her service, excellence, and courage, Captain Petty demonstrated how strength and dedication can open doors and inspire lasting change.
