Who is Clara Barton?
Many know Clara Burton's name as a nurse in the Civil War known as 'The Angel of the Battlefield'. By her death in 1912, her work touched millions of people worldwide and continues to do so. If you've ever received the care of a trained female nurse, received a blood donation, participated in or donated to relief efforts, have utilized your community's ambulance corps, have taken a first aid course, or have a first aid kit in your home, office, car, or boat --- then Clara's work has touched your life.
