description:
Margery M. Young (formerly Miller) was born in Missouri on January 12, 1915. She joined in the Navy WAVES in June 1943 and went to officer’s training at Smith College in Massachusetts. After training, she was assigned to Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York and the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California before her discharge in June 1944. She received her discharge because she became pregnant, and women were not allowed at the time to serve while pregnant or after having children. When she left the service Young had reached the rank of ensign, and for her service she was awarded an American Campaign Medal and World War II Victory Medal.
