Her name was Mary Hays McCauly, and, as many women did back then, she went to war beside her husband, William Hays, an artillery matross (gunner).
Mary spent her days tending the wounded and bringing water to the fighting men on the front lines of battle, an act that would earn her the nickname Molly Pitcher. [...]
I know the header for this topic is Outstanding Women, but because Father’s Day has just passed (I was out of town so I never got to celebrate it with mu husband), I thought we’d relax the rules and give the guys a shot at glory.
