Dorothy Mae Hinson Brandt (May 3, 1927 - Feb. 20, 2022) joined the Woman's Army Corps in 1944 when she was 16 years old. The legal age for women to join at the time was 21. She went on to serve in Italy and Germany before being honorably discharged from the Army at the age of 20. After many years traveling the world with her husband, John Brandt (also a WWII vet), they settled in Alamosa, Co. where they owned and operated a longhorn ranch near the base of Mt. Blanca (video by U.S. Army Capt. Remington Henderson).
