As a retired ER/Trauma RN, I salute you, M’am! 👩⚕️ I may not have been over there with the rest of you, my “heroes”, but I had surely planned on it. Yes, my parents were upset, but I wanted to go. However, as I came closer and closer to Graduation 🌹(our Nursing School was an accelerated program, but it still took 2-1/2 years til Graduation, then sit for Boards. So by then, the War was calming down, and Nixon was talking seriously about pulling our troops out. Which he did just as I received my packet telling me I was an RN! I got married and had two children instead 😘💕🙏🙋♀️, but never wanted anything but ER/Shock Trauma.....and that’s what I did for almost 40 years. I’ve taken care of some horrible things during my career......I worked in an inner city ER, so GSW were plentiful, sad to say. I’ve worked 14 -16 hour shifts just because there weren’t enough RN’s to cover when my 12-hour shift was over. Now I’m sure all you RN’s in Nam just worked until the patients coming in started to slow down - - no “shifts” there! I’m so very proud of you, and ALL the Vietnam Nurses! I love the Memorial in Washington, DC. We never did many cutdowns either....central lines worked IF there was an MD or a Fellow was around! You made me laugh, because I cannot remember in all my career ever starting any IV under an 18! Lol! During a big Trauma Alert, I would always sneak down to thread a 16 or 14 in the great saphenous vein while the Trauma Surgeons and Anesthesia were doing their thing. (That is, if they had a leg eft to do that!) God bless you richly and safely keep you, in Jesus’s Precious Name, Amen! THANK YOU FOR LAYING YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE FOR ME AND MINE! 🙋♀️💕✝️🙏🕊💜🌹

Not surprising. She is more than deserving. That reminds me of Tim Wilkinson during the Battle of Mogadishu. He braved intense enemy rocket and small arms fire to extract wounded, crossing open ground completely exposed 3 times, credited with saving four lives. Subsequently being awarded the Navy Cross. To juxtapose that, Jared Monti in Afghanistan, under intense enemy fire, he got up to rescue one wounded soldier. Immediately cut down. Rescued no one. Never even came close to even touching the downed soldier. Medal of Honor. Definitely a brave hero.... But a MoH?!?! The award system is broken. Reenlistment gets you a bronze star.. having a command position during deployment gets a bronze star. This woman, saving lives, wading through blood and broken bodies.... Nothing.

Thank ALL of the nurses and surgeons who busted ass trying to save us. I was an 11-B infantrymen with the 2/502st infantry, 101st Airborne Division (ambl) Camp Eagle M.R. 1, near the border with North Vietnam and khesan (?) I did two tours back to back because to be honest with you I had nowhere to go once I came back to the states , I lived where I worked when I got drafted and after I was drafted the little gas station closed . My parents were both severe alcoholics so that was out of the question . I went in when I was 19, and I was told I would be released after two years active duty. We had a lot of contact in our region plus we had lam son 719 , I was attached to the 48th assault helicopter company, The “Blue Stars” and we worked out of Dong Ha. Most of the time in Vietnam I was in the bush but when lam son 719 came I got a break And rode in a slick as a door gunner. We had a hell of a time with the South Vietnamese trying to take on the hardened NVA we had to go up on the Laotian border and do medevacs and body grabs to take back to the ARVN field hospital at Dong Ha , that’s been 50 years ago and I can still smell the dead bodies of our guys and the ARVN’S that we loaded into our ship and headed back to dong Ha . The American KIA were picked up at the Arvin hospital by some other company and they were taken to I believe the fifty-eight hospital where they have a KIA reception point. The blue ⭐️ stars caught hell! Some of our guys went up into Cambodia although I don’t think they were supposed to talk about it because the ARVN’S had pushed up into Cambodia and had their asses handed to them at that point. For the first time in my life I saw a blue and silver UH one giving refueled at the temporary refueling pad at dong Ha, A lot of ships had all kinds of stuff written on cartoons whatever but this one was solid silver and blue and I thought this is really unusual that they would do this. Someone told me that is Air America the CIA. I was too young and stupid to even have any idea what the CIA was but I remember they came into a slot next to us and I got out to refuel and somebody was bringing ice chest full of water and cleaning all of the blood from the deck of that ship! After all that was over and I went back to Camp Eagle to resume pounding the ground over and over and over. We were going up to a fire based on a chinook we loaded from Camp Eagle and the Chinook caught fire just as he was leaving the ground I don’t know if you realize but we could see it from the back engine and we were yelling at the crew chief who had a radio communication with the pilot. I looked out the window and I saw that we had cleared the perimeter and that’s when we went down and we went down hard because it knocked my memory out that’s all I remember until I woke up in camp zuma, Japan 🇯🇵. I had second and third-degree burns over 40% of my body. A lot of the really bad burns I could not feel but the other ones around my ass and private area was unbearable and they kept putting me in the tank a water like a whirlpool and the reason they did that is to get the remnants of my clothes and whatever was embedded in my flesh to break loose. Whoever is reading this please take my advice don’t screw around with anything you can get burned with. Don’t use gasoline for anything except putting it in your car. The same thing with lighting a barbecue out side! Sometimes people leave their gas on or they turn the gas on first and it explodes and burn to their face I met so many people that that’s happened to . I had some really nice nurses in Japan and they let me call them by their first name even though they were commissioned officer and I always feel strange about doing that but I built up a rapport with them because so often I was ready to fight or do something crazy due to the pain and they wouldn’t give me enough pain medicine ever! But the nurses would come and rub this silver nitrate all over me. I got medical evacuation in A C-141 flying hospital, The sweetest nurses who ld ever want to meet! and they were always right there near me even though I was unable to sleep they were always checking on me and talking to me and I really have-had nothing to say, because I had nowhere to go no one to go to I’ve never felt sorry about it it’s just the way my life was back then , I more than made up for it by being married for 33 years and having three kids. I ended up at the same hospital where I was born brooks Army Medical Center in San Antonio. My father was a career Air Force officer and we were living in San Antonio because he was stationed at the Air Force Base there when Korea broke out. The day my mother gave birth to me there my father was in Korea. I had several surgeries and everywhere that wasn’t burned they took off and transferred it .

As a nurse, this makes me so proud!! I have ZERO idea of what these nurses went through, as I’ve never served and graduated in 2006, but I’ve known quite a few ex-military (mostly ARMY/Air Force) nurses who had served overseas and let me tell you, when I was a new ICU/trauma nurse after only been on the floor for about a year, they were the BEST! I would be freaking out (professionally, but freaking out big time inside😂) and they were always so calm! Nothing rattled them and they were great at educating and improvising. I’ve always been so lucky with all the machinery and other luxuries that stateside hospital nurses have seemingly always had in my lifetime, but hearing some of their stories over the years were so amazing. I truly love these stories and appreciate them so much! 🥹🇺🇸🫡

Hello Donna. Our paths never crossed. I spent my tour in Pleiku in 1971-72 repairing radios in a repurposed ward of the 71st Evac. I was never in direct combat and never had a scratch that was worthy of a Purple Heart. I came home with no scars either physical or mental. I am not a hero but have been embarrassed when improperly called one by someone who mistakenly thought I deserved it simply because I spent 11 months in country. I never joined any sort of veteran support group since I was spared the horrors that you and your men experienced. I am writing you in recognition that you not only saved your men but you indirectly served me and thousands like me who were the support troops. You took care of the men who took care of us.

Love this. Welcome Home. Thank you doesn't say enough. I was stationed at NAS South Weymouth, MA when I was in the Navy and originally from Macon, GA. So honored to hear your story. I have seen the wall and women's memorial. An awesome peaceful area.

A wonderful lady. The guys who unfortunately ended in triage were in good hands. I’m a Brit but would still like to say thanks for your service - and to you too Joe.

I served two Vietnam tours, but am most proud of children and both granddaughters: one, a special needs teacher, the other, a new BSN RN! 1st tour I was a patient at 3d Field Hospital. While there, General Westmoreland came into our ward. That was 1966. My wife never wrote me about the protests in our country. After first tour, I was called a baby killer and I recall who called me that! I was talking to a couple Australian captains. I called the Diggers. One captain told me “enlisted men are diggers, not officers! I thought I had insulted then so I asked what Aussie officers were. Not hesitating a second, he said, “we’re a bunch of bloody basthaids”. I remained on active duty and also was living with other Army people.
