98 As Nurses Week comes to close, some of the military nurses, with diverse backgrounds, supporting the Community Vaccination Center in Memphis reflect on their profession and share a common goal-helping people in need.
Among the nurses, U.S. Navy Lt. J.G. Joseph Kolaszewski, a former U.S. Marine Corps gunnery sergeant, commissioned into the Navy’s nursing profession and is one of the many Marines and Sailors with 2d Marine Division, II Marine Expeditionary Force, deployed in support of the state-run, federally-supported Community Vaccination Center at the Memphis Fairgrounds in Memphis, Tennessee.
“Being a nurse was the best way I could give back,” said Kolaszewski.
