REMEMBERING ONE TOUGH VETERAN 
 

Susan Ahn Cuddy was one seriously tough woman, who wore many hats — and broke many barriers — throughout her life.

She was the first Asian American woman in the Navy and the first woman gunnery officer teaching air combat tactics. During World War II, Lieutenant Cuddy trained Navy pilots in dogfighting maneuvers and firing .50-caliber machine guns.

But her children, Flip and Christine Cuddy, didn’t know about her accomplishments until later in life. In 2018, they came to StoryCorps to remember her.

PRAYING FOR ZOEY

Please pray for my 12-year-old niece, Zoey, who has been in the hospital now for six weeks with a very rare illness. Many prayers are needed. Thank you and praying for all of you here and your prayer requests. Believe that with God all things are possible.
