Respect to you Miss Joanne.."Welcome back to the World..!!
These nurses were true heroes I have so much respect for them and the corpsmen/medics and doctors bless them all.
5 days in hospital in I Corp 1970. Angels in OD are the greatest. I thank you.
such a cool lady.
You're an awesome person and nurse...thank you for helping our boys.
Everlasting gratitude. Thankful.
Such a heartfelt history. Thank you for your service.
I was in Vietnam active duty 69-70 and was very happy to have had the many volunteers who also came to Vietnam to serve in many occupations. Nurses, donut dollies, etc. Including the many entertainment groups (Bob Hope and others.) Thanks to all of you.
God bless them all. Took a fellow soldier to 93rd evac hosp. They were great.
Crazy to hear stories from a 70 year person talk about a 20 year experience that was traumatic. It’s taken them soo long to talk about it .
My husband, USMC Vietnam, 66-67 had our first son die from SIDS, our second son was born at 28 weeks, 900 grams. His daughter from his first marriage had to go onto birth control at age 12 because she was having problems with her ovaries. HER children, our grandson had Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, he is in remission now, her daughter, our granddaughter has Endometriosis. I know for a FACT Agent Orange did all of this to us
Been there and let us know about it. Thanks.
