Former U.S. Army Nurse Mildred "Millie" Seefeld receives Lance P Sijan Award for service during World War Two

 

WAUWATOSA, Wis. (CBS 58) – Millie Seefeld is no stranger to waiting. The former U.S. Army Nurse and grandmother has practice with it over her 101 years of life. So, it probably wasn’t much of an issue for Millie to have to wait a year after the Milwaukee Armed Services Committee named her the 2020 Lance P. Sijan Award recipient to receive her award thanks to the global pandemic.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Amanda Porterfield joined Millie at her home at Luthor Manor in Wauwatosa to learn about her service and her perspective on the meaning of Memorial Day.
