We are the women and men who served in the Army, Navy and Air Force Nurse Corps in Viet Nam. We were the youngest and most inexperienced nurses to ever be sent into a war zone, but nothing could have prepared us for what we saw and had to deal with. But we met the challenge, the survival rate for the seriously wounded was 83%, the highest survival rate of any war. We accomplished this with the help of the doctors, of course, but also with the help of our corpsmen who worked tirelessly by our sides and the field and evac medics and Dustoff pilots and crews who did an outstanding job of keeping the wounded alive until they could be delivered into our care.
We worked 12 hours a day, six days a week. Our battlegrounds were the Emergency Room, OR, Post-Op, Intensive Care Unit and Surgical Wards. We also fought on a battleground which receives little attention..the Medical Ward where we encountered diseases not seen in the "Real World" and about which we had to learn quickly. Our enemies were bleeding, raging fevers, infections, fear and death.
We served our Country with Courage, Honor and Pride.
