i used the vietnam nurses as a source of strenght and inspiration during our crush of our internships in vet med.........only to be howled down and dumped on same as they were ........by the gdf mhs.......may they rot........appauling the mhs and nurses today know nothign of the history and true heroic standards of dedciaton of the vietnam and other nurses, other people who break their backs healing and protecting the vulnerable...........

national disgrace that people dont even know about the truth of vietnam and work to rewrite the truth of history........

these people are on my inspiration wall wherever i roam...........and source of greath strnght for me..........here is the oNly place i would share it learned the hard ways.........with the only people.............i trust ..............

So sorry you were in that dreadful un-needed war, that cost So many lives, and yes always a Big thank You to the Nurses and Medics. It was a stupid war we (US) should have never been in. - as a Brit I was asked why we were not in the war, I said burnt out from so many stupid wars. I hope you have healed, especially emotionally that can leave so many scars. My Grandfather was in WW1, came home hair had turned pure white, in the trenches for 3 months, shrapnel in his back (no operations for that then), damaged lungs as his gas mask leaked. Had to live with these inflections the rest of his life, i.e. trench foot. Not only that, his brother that when in, died in France.!!! I have more war story's from out family, I HATE war......I wish you well and hope you heal. Sending Love n Big Hugs.......Peace & Strength......Sprinkle 1......

I am glad us Brits came thru for you. Yes today's world does not seem to accept the atrocities we have suffered thru, look at 9/11?!!! I think we have lost our way, too many of us on the planet, governed by greed, it has become a dog eat dog world. We need thinning out, maybe that is why we have Covid-19?!!! We need to slow down and look ahead with caution, look at the atrocity we had here in US Donald trump I liken him to Nero, who as you know, supposedly fiddled while Rome burned. Look at Hitler such a monster, to escape he committed suicide. We have to give up greed, lust for power, learn to love and help each other, I think that is what god wants......Sending Love n Hugs......Sprinkle 1.......

Hello and Yes. You are so right, I was young and English, living in the US, people accused me of Brits not being in the war. I said it was a stupid war, not an American war, we had no business being there. I had friends that were killed or mentally out of balance afterwards. Those nurses were beautiful, as were the service men they took care of. A man I became engaged to years later, told me how when he came home and was in his uniform, people spat at him!!! He was mentally scarred, became an alcoholic, got into AA, but was scared, our relationship ended by him. So I commend you, and wish for you to keep mentally well, which is not easy. As a child born during the war in 1942 in my Grandmothers house during an air raid, which of course I do not remember. But as I got older I got nervous when the alarm bells went off, Mother would find me hiding under the dining room table, which had long thick covers on it to the ground, I would be there with my ears jammed over my ears. She too me and my brother to the air raid shelter. I do not remember a lot of this, but it left scares on me, and when we went into town (walking of course) for grocery's my Mother pushed the pram with my baby brother in it. I saw the bombed out buildings, she stood in line for a hour to get 2 oranges, 2 bananas which were for my brother and I. She bought veg. and what ever she could get. Then we had to walk home, I would get tired she would add me to the load on the pram. I hate war.....Sending Love, Peace and big hugs....Sprinkle 1
