Colonel Verena Zeller

Only three women achieved the rank of colonel during the U.S. military action in Korea. Kansan Verena Zeller, Chief of the U.S. Air Force Nursing Corps, was one. She is pictured here in the middle.

Like other U.S. states and regions across the globe, Kansans have served and died in war. The Kansas Museum of History aims to remember them through what they left behind. To see more photos of Zeller please visit: https://www.kansasmemory.org/item/307008
