Biographical / historical:

Jackie Voelkl was born July 28, 1921, in Dinuba, California. She grew up during the Great Depression between the homes of her mother, her grandparents, and finally, her father, in Portland, Oregon. She married her high school boyfriend after graduation, though the two eventually separated before Jackie joined the Women's Army Auxiliary Corps (WAAC) in 1942, which later became the Women's Army Corps (WAC). She joined the army with the intention of serving, earning money, and eventually going home to go to school.
