Nurse Story," a book of artworks and commentary recounting White's
memories as an Army nurse during the Vietnam War and Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder (PTSD) survivor, on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 2 p.m. to 4
p.m.White views her artwork as a way to describe not only her
experiences, but also those of other combat nurses. She also sees it as
a source for storytelling, particularly about things she saw that can't
be described in words.White's message is one of resilience and optimism.
She is a survivor, and wishes to inspire hope in fellow veterans and
those who currently serve our country. Select pieces of White's artwork
