The monument is next to a flagpole on the west side of the memorial circle.

An inscribed upright piece of marble about 7 feet tall.

The monument remembers the Army, Navy and Philippine nurses who served in the Philippines during the campaign of 1941-42.  The nurses, originally assigned to their bases in the Philippines during peace, were thrust into battle on Bataan and finally on the island holdout of Corregidor.  For many, when General Wainwright surrender Allied forces to the Japanese, the nurses became POWs along with the soldiers.  The nurses continued to serve as nurses in various POW camps until their liberation in 1945.

On August 20, 2001, Major Maude C. Davison, the senior nurse in the Philippines (And World War 1 Veteran) was posthumously awarded the Distinguished Service Medal by the US Army in honor of her dedication to keeping her nurses living and working as US Army nurses even during the most brutal periods of captivity; she is attributed with saving their lives.

The Survivors of the Bataan Death March erected the monument in 2000 to remember these heroes – the Angels of Bataan and Corregidor.

The text on the marker is written in English and reads:

To the Angels

U.S. Army Nurse Corps – U.S. Navy Nurse Corps

In honor of the valiant American military women who gave so much of themselves in the early days of World War II, they provided care and comfort to the gallant defenders of Bataan and Corregidor, they lived on a starvation diet, shared the bombing, strafing, sniping, sickness and disease while working endless hours of heartbreaking duty, these nurses always had a smile, a tender touch and a kind word for their patients, they truly earned the name:

THE ANGELS OF BATAAN AND CORREGIDOR

We acknowledge with deep appreciation the twenty Philippine nurses who assisted their American friends in both hospitals of Bataan and Corregidor. Theirs was a job well done. They were a credit to the United States and the Republic of the Philippines
