Who is she?

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception

 
In 1917 as America joined the allied troops in Europe, he was homeless, living off scraps from trash cans. He then joined the army, the 102nd Infantry, 26th Yankee Division out of New Haven Connecticut. Once in France he marched into battle with the doughboys, but soon found himself the victim of a German chlorine gas attack. In spite of his background he proved himself an able soldier. He saved many lives, single-handedly captured a German soldier and even located wounded soldiers on the battlefield. He served his country in seventeen battles before he was relieved of combat duty while recovering from a grenade blast.
