All the veterans were screwed by the system and a lack of leadership like blaming the football players that accomplished the game despite moronic leadership and objectives of not playing to win
The vietnam nurses were caught up in all that and suffered horrendous ptsd
Therefore our foundation awards all the Vietnam nurses
Our Medal of Honor
The national nursing memorial was built in 2016 in a grove of beautiful cedars
When the troops and pow cane home nurse and stewardesses put in their best uniforms and gallons of perfume in a silent tribute to welcome people home
Welcome home all veterans and everyone
In one hoslital I was in a nurse went behind the scenes to comfort a terrified young woman whose doctor was hard on her I know as I witnessed it myself
No one in the system care
She is awarded our
Distinguished service cross for nursing
Dr nair and dr li saved my best friend at tinley Park and got me started painting
He was a good man who made a mistake they got his job back
wow, and now I have even more respect for you Agora.... it takes a special kind of human being to be able to deal with that kind of suffering and make a difference...you got your wings lady....
As I was saying....it takes a rare soul who can take the daily experience of dealing with pain and suffering, and be able to do the job without either succumbing to the pressure and stress on the bad days, and be in the job for the good days when they make a difference in somebody’s life, and it's usually on the worse day of their life when they need medical help. My grandmother and sister and many, many friends are nurses, respiratory, EMT, etc.....so I know the stories. I was married to a respiratory therapist for 15years. To be able to do the job you have to disassociate yourself to a certain degree from their pain, but there are always those one or two that stick with you.
Thank you Brig.... if anyone has not seen any documentary's on the women who also served in Vietnam... they really should. There was a show called China Beach which I loved, that was basically a tribute to these women and showed only a fraction of what really happened, but I felt it was good in the respect that it brought attention at least to a very little known heroism at that time.
