Impressive!!! I always liked her, but she earned a special place in my heart for her service to our country.

I remember Martha Raye. I had no idea she was a military murse. I rmember the military nurses I met....you didn't argue with them. They took charge and did what needed to be done. She was a special lady.

A great lady and I remember her well with Bob Hope and those specials. I thought I had remembered her being some kind of a nurse, but I had no idea she was a full bird Colonel in the Reserves. A wonderful memory, thanks.

Reread it. The part you are mentioning is part of the rumor. Later in that paragraph it states that this is false. I don't think you eyes are the problem. I think Snopes worded it poorly.
