Peggy Hengeveld’s assignments were with 103rd Medical BN, 108th Combat Support Hospital, and Joint Forces Headquarters, Pennsylvania Army National Guard. Her military nursing career provided an opportunity to use her nursing skills in many different ways, from operating a medical station that provided care to sick and injured soldiers to a medical clinic supporting physical examinations for flight exams, new recruit exams and re- enlistment exams. Later in her career, she spent time with injured soldiers at Walter Reed Military Hospital after they returned from Operation Iraqi Freedom. Today she is a nurse volunteer at the Flagler Free Clinic and also serves as the current president of Flagler County Chapter of the Military Officer Association of America (MOAA). Hengeveld embodies the MOAA motto, “Never stop serving.”
