patriotic to the core, rushed to death. And one of them said

I went to a Red Cross meeting. I acted as bridesmaid. I read a book on
the war. I took a last lesson in first aid. I canned eighty cans of
vegetables and, oh--!"
"Do tell me!"
"Why, will you believe me, I have been so busy all day that I almost
forgot to get married!"
