Those Ladies are owed a debt of gratitude that most of us have no way of expressing.

Thanks for the post Dave. Got a bit dusty in here.

Nice tribute.
No pink hats needed for those women.

Angels, each and every one.

Got to visit the Vietnam Memorial right after the nurse’s statue was added. Nurses are angels on earth.

The sculpture speaks for all of them, and even for those who went before them.

They were Nurses, Doctors, MI, Signal, Jag and Admin. Counting the Donut Dollies, about 9,000 women served ‘in country’.
They earned the respect those of us who served there have for them.

Why do I get the feeling that at some point in the history of the Banning Unified School District, Jan Spann has probably told a bunch of students that she was the nurse in this sculpture?

Words sort of beat me when I try to express my feelings towards these wonderful woman. When injured and out of action because some gook couldn’t shoot straight, the care and attention one received was out of this world. I’ll always remember them and the dedication they gave to their chargers with love, care, and total devotion.

Nothing says thank you like a good shagging!

I truly admired thoses nurses when I was a patient in the 24th EVAC Hosp in Long Binh, 1970. The best one could ever hope for.
