Outside of Myself, Has ANY other woman earned a Navy Cross?

Yes, my name has been changed.

Update:

Seriously, those in denial might be saying if the Navy does not come right out and embarrass a disabled woman you will not admit there has been any recent recipient, because yes, I was so awarded. So, I must wonder how many others were awarded given our enemies have a since WWII been shooting women in the head, and etc.

    Obviously your name has changed. The last female awarded the Navy Cross was Lilian M. Murphy. It was awarded posthumously in 1918.

    Congratulations for being the only deceased person on YA to ask a question.

    Yeah.... I went and looked up it, you should have too...ya think?

    FOUR women have earned the Navy Cross, ALL FOUR of them in World War I. They are Marie Louise Hidell, Lenah Sutcliff Higbee, Lililan M. Murphy, and Edna E. Place. THREE of these four women died as nurses during the Influenza Epidemic in 1918-19, and only Higbee survived to wear her award. She died January 10, 1941. Guess that means the person who posted this is in violation of the Federal Stolen Valor Act (Title 18 U.S.C., Section 704)

    Well, I knew you were insane and a liar from your other posts, but to claim you're an NC winner? Bravo and brava.

    Edited to add: Just report for her/him/it for misrepresentation/impersonation and move on, people.
