Virginia Garrett asked Jameson Parker:

This isn't a question. In my reading of Code Girls, it has struck me the weight these women carried during the war and even long after. That had to be so difficult. In my reading now, it's D-Day. Those women knew the day was coming but did not know the day. When they first received the messages that it was commencing, they were told not to speak of it even after the news broke across the nation. Can you imagine?

Jameson Parker They did indeed carry a lot of baggage as a result of their work, and the ladies that worked for OSS (take a look at "An Adventurous Lady" under "Other Writing" on my website; it's a true story) carried even more. The shocking thing is that because of the secrecy of their work, and because they were ladies in a time when a woman's place was in the oven, none of them ever received any of the recognition they should have.
