Major Joy David was my first charge nurse as a 1st year medic in Tachikawa Japan Ward 5 ICU, 1971. She taught me a lot, gave me a free hand to learn and supreme confidence that I was doing well by her reviews of me in my record. I wish I had a picture like one of these of her because she changed my life.
A very nice tribute and well deserved! A tip of my army helmet, and a 20 round salute from my M-16, to all you brave ladies who served when we really needed you. As a disabled veteran of the Vietnam Conflict, I'd like to give a shout out to the women who took care of me for 8 months (1969-70) from Vietnam, to Japan, and home to Fort Devens Army Hospital. If not for you nurses I would not be here at 74 years of age typing this. THANK YOU!
@felixmadison 5736... thank you for you service and sacrifice
during the Vietnam conflict and welcome home Sir. I dedicate
these two songs by SSgt Barry Sadler from his 1966 record
album Ballads of the Green Berets to you and all who severed
our country during the Vietnam conflict.
"I'm a Lucky One"
SSgt Barry Sadler
I'm going home, my tour is done
I'm going home, I'm a lucky one
But I left friends behind me
Who won't come home no more
Yes many friends remain forever
On that bloody shore
But at night when I sleep, I know my dreams will be
About my friends I left across the sea
I'll here verbal young men harn, laugh again out loud
We'll all be together in a happy crowd
But then I hear the sound of bullets whining overhead
Feel the crash of morters and all my friends are dead
My friends they fought and gave their all
My friends they died for freedoms call
As my dream was ending, they'll come and say goodbye
Though I'm sound asleep a tear I'll cry
And they say something which fills my heart with pain
Tell them about us Sadler, don't let us die in vain
I'm going home, my tour is done
I'm going home, I'm a lucky one
"Salute to the Nurses"
SSgt Barry Sadler
After the battle after the fight
many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white
And all of the men in this war torn land
salute the nurses of Vietnam
They know the awful toll of war each day
they know more than any the price we pay
A soldier his hands too burned to write
a nurse takes down his words through the lonely night
They have gone to the front where men fought
in the night from Pleiku to Qui Nhon
where war these men fight
Many a wounded soldier pain is eased for a while
by opening his eyes to see a nurses smile
To each of the wounded on the operating shelf
these nurses give a part of themselves
I know every soldier to the last man will
sometimes say a prayer for the nurses of Vietnam
After the battle after the fight
many owe their lives to the ladies and men in white
And all of the men in this war torn land
salute the nurses of Vietnam.
@@drewpall2598 Thank you.
Angles of mercy and healing those who are hurting and needing that tending love.
Saved many lives and comforted our bravest in the hardest of times, not fully onboard with women in combat these days but if they want to be on the front lines may God grant our ladies strength and wisdom. Country Duty Valor
A longtime family friend served as a USAF lieutenant nurse in Vietnam for two years. I cannot recall the base where she served treating the wounded, but I know that on occasion she would ride aboard medevac Hueys to field LZs so medical aid could be provided that much sooner to wounded GIs. On one of those occasions, the VC or NVA started pouring in fire on the LZ and her helicopter took off, leaving her and three other unwounded soldiers on the ground. They eventually made their way to friendlies after a long and quiet hike. She died three years ago and is buried at Riverside National Cemetery in California.
I was a patient 3d Field Hospital 1966. Thank you Docs and Nurses. Youngest granddaughter is a brand new BSN RN.
Thank You and Welcome Home Brother
Thank you for putting this together. So many of the ladies in this war are overlooked. This is a lovely way to honor them. They too fought to help, give aid and comfort and pray to God they too got home. Many did not.
I served in Vietnam with a few women (Air Force) Wherever Life took them I want to salute you
My great respect for all women who served in every hell of war !!! Thanks
Thank You for putting this together. It's so important to know that us females were also serving in RVN.
It was my Honor to do this for our Ladys that served in Vietnam. If not for them, we can triple the number of names on the Vietnam Wall.
each face shines with pride .... Best Wishes to all of the families - - from USS LEXINGTON CV-16
With " God bless " you all made it home safely . Thank you so much to all of the Vietnam vets that service in South Vietnam for " Freedom & Humans kind ." . The time I was in 7 grad students published high school in Saigon . The battlefield turns into horrible yearly . My boyfriend in military & younger brother serviced in Navy both died. I still remember sound of Helicopter flow over my parent house. Each night sound of gunning a canoe. Each night on sky flair bright contained just as a New Year firecracker but not that beauty. We all stay in Saigon after Saigon fell 4/30/1975 but all those bad experiment with communist a country governed by dictatorships my parent & their friend decided built a wooden fishing boat look for freedom . A first our boat on a Pacific Ocean 12 days, two person died because storm & our boat not enough watered to drink. . Met Soviet shipped they took us back to Vung Tau Vietnam. Communist government here put us into empty school jailed & late let us all our . The second time this boat made it to Indonesia Refugees Camp. About two months later the American Red Cross did their paper work , Heath check for each refugee . And the American Red Cross gave all of us a paper must sign " IOU " each refugee we will pay $600 & kid $ 300 . For each Airline ticket flow to the U.S. where our sponsor church was . Plus a Green card of 5 years allows stay in America & legally to work . In the U.S. we worked paid our loan , paid for taking " American Citizen Test " pass we legally became the U.S. citizen . God bless Americans .❤❤
Amazing, so well done. A Vietnam veteran says thank you.
Thank you ladies for your help and helping our men getting well (Vietnam) We will never forget you all. Welcome Back home also ladies.
Spent three tours in Vietnam and never stop to say thank you.u will never know how much I love you ladies for what you did.GOD bless you all! From the ladies who gave us courage to make that lonely flight to all the brave nurses and other women who entertained us in country.we will never forget u in our prayers.
Very few people are aware of the enormous emotional toll war takes from military nurses, Corpsmen/persons, Medics and doctors. Terrific tribute. Thank you for producing this. And, thank you women for putting up with all the male chauvinist pigs you likely encountered as you did you work. By the way, interesting to see the early uniform name tags. Blessings to all who served. (RVN 1969-1970)
We were there, we served, and we died too. Remember us!
I understand your intent. But of the 58,000 who died there, only one woman, a nurse, was killed by enemy fire. Her name was Sharon Lane. We thank you for saving lives, and for making the place a little gentler. I speak here about the kind and caring young RED CROSS women we knew as "donut dollies." The name didn't reflect their dedication and professionalism. I know, too, that the endless stream of broken bodies changed you forever too.
check your source .... also, nurses were not in combat
Lt. Sharon Lane was killed at the 312th Evacuation Hospital on June 8, 1969 by a 122mm rocket. That's enemy fire.@@jb-vb8un
Three tours in Vietnam.....they were amazing, they took such good care of us....We love you all...
Thank You and Welcome Home Brother
Angels all.....they were more than Nurses.
They offered Comfort, a Ear for listening, and tried to ease the Suffering.
Many a Grunt owe their Lives to the Angels.... long may their Memory Survive!
A wonderful tribute to the women who served in a variety of capacities in Vietnam. Of particular note is a photo of two nurses a little more than halfway through the video. On the left is Lynda Van Devanter, who served at the 71st Medevac Hospital in Pleiku. Lynda wrote a book about her experiences in Vietnam called "Home Before Morning." The book was used as the basis for the TV series "China Beach." Sadly, Lynda died years later from complications from Agent Orange.
Amén 🙏
They did a special on China Beach. They had real nurses that were in Vietnam to appear on the show and tell what is was really like over there. One woman cried when she told them what a basketcase was (I guess they asked her if she ever saw a basketcase). She saw one soldier that lost both arms and legs.
We could never give enough thanks! Thank you all for your, bravery, sacrifices, and your selfless service!
Cant thank you tough ladys enough unimaginable sacrifices beyond tired exhausted frustrations anger you are all golden transparent if theres a better word than thank you I wish I knew it your all beyond amazing unsung heroes I think .
Simply marvelous! Did two tours hospitalized once.
Thanks ladies.you have always been and will always be as important as our fighting men. Could never get along without you.
Thank you from my heart for airing this
It was my Honor to make this and post it. If you are or know any nurse's that served in Vietnam, PLEASE message me so I may send you a little something special. "ALF"
We were so lucky to have you wonderful nurses in country. You all made the difference literally between life and death for us. God bless all of you. Thanks for being there!
Wonderful, glad I stumbled onto this. I was lucky -- was never a patient, well, except for a dab of jungle rot. Occasionally we could see the big white hospital ship offshore. LCI, RVN class of 69-70.
Welcome Home Brother and Thank You
Naval Hospital Danang, two gunshot wounds, SGT 0321 68
Much respect for the women that served and gave their lives!!!!! American service women I salute you 🇺🇸!!!!!!
God Bless nurses who serve in the military. I’ve required their services too many times. I wish the last part honoring them listed their info such as units assigned, rank and the day the paid their ultimate price in service to our country.
A heartfelt THANK YOU to *all* of the women that served in Vietnam or in support of our troops. I served '67-72 in country.
@Mike Raffphone No, I wasn't a POW. I was in-country from '67-'72 for just over 4 years. All or part of those 6 years, inclusive. Mostly as a helicopter crew member.
It never occurred to me until I watched this video. A belated thank you for your service. I hope that all of you are living or have lived a wonderful life after your service in the military.
Great video about the unsung heroes/heroines of the war. God Bless them all!
God Bless those who served.
My aunt was a WW2 army nurse with Mark Clark’s army. I believe all nurses from all wars need more recognition. More honor heaped upon them. The stories my aunt told are mirrored in all nurses in all conflicts, a National Day of Recognition would not be out of order.
Wonderful Queens 👑❤🤗
Wonderful Memories Thank You For Your Service Amen God Bless You All Vietnam Veterans Abundantly
Amen.x100.
THANK YOU LADIES FOR YOUR SERVICE...................

Oh my God, so many strong brave faces there, and all so young,
Thank you for your service in my country without you my family and i are not here today, i sincerely bowl my head to you all
They walked the walk.not only stood up, they stood tall.
Well done!
God Bless our LADIES in uniform
I was a Huey door gunner jumping the fence into Laos and Cambodia where officially we were not supposed to be. Vietnam was hours and hours of pure boredom interrupted by moments of sheer terror. The nurses had a even tougher job than I did. They had to see it every day and may hold the hand of a young man as he left this life. Near the Vietnam Wall in Washington D.C. there is a statue dedicated to the nurses. While visiting the WALL, with my Dad a WW2 veteran who joined the Navy when he was 15 - we were approached by a family who asked us if it would be ok to take a picture with their kids and I damn near cried it touched me so much.
@wasclit11... If you haven't seen this 2006 documentary Vietnam Nurses With Dana Delany it offers viewers a brief but powerful glimpse into nursing during the Vietnam War. The film combines provocative interviews with eight nurses-Maureen Adduci, Diane Carlson Evans, Dorothy Harris, Judy Herrington, Susan O'Neill, Candice Sullivan, Donna White, and Sharon Zimpher-with captivating film footage and photographs to produce an intellectually and visually compelling narrative that follows the women from their decision to become military nurses, through their wartime experiences, and their postwar recovery. Funded by Johnson & Johnson and Women's Entertainment Television, the documentary has won critical acclaim, including an Emmy Award for editing.
The title of the video "Vietnam Nurses - Vietnam Women's Memorial - Documentary With Dana Delany" it's worth searching out. running 44:41 minutes in length
@wasclit11... Thanks, you for your service and sacrifice during the Vietnam conflict and welcome home Sir. I dedicate these two songs from SSgt Barry Sadler 1966 record album "Ballad of the Green Beret." to you and all of our Vietnam Vets. 🙏

Yes many friends remain forever.

Feel the crash of morters and all my firends are dead.
My friends they fought and gave their all.
My friends they died for freedoms call.
As my dream is ending they'll come and say goodbye.
Though I'm sound asleep a tear I'll cry
And they say something which fills my heart with pain.
Tell them about us Sadler don't let us die in vain.

Angels all!
I was brought in with someone carrying my left leg and holding my left arm on, part of my head was crushed and my jaw was hanging, my chest was crushed, I didn't know who I was or where, I woke up with tubes in all over, I was dying, I heard a female voice that held my hand. she said I got you. I lived and stayed alive because of that.
Wonderful Blessed & Dedicated Nurses Amen
Ladies served with hearts of gold.
Thankyou for all you did I can't imagine unloading those choppers as they came in from the jungle .
What an awesome tribute, my Dad served over there in 67/68. Great to see this tribute to the females in uniform.
My uncle was one that they helped put back together. Lots of men grateful that they were there to help them
A big thank you to all the women that served during the Viet Nam War God Bless you ❤
Thank you ladies for your service
I was born in 72. I can only imagine how comforting it must have been to have a beautiful and compassionate nurse take care of our wounded young marines and soldiers. God bless you fine ladies and your devotion to country and fellow soldiers. I salute you!
Thanks for putting this together, I was being released after 5 days and waiting outside for a bird to come pick me up to go back to Quang tri. A dustoff came in loaded down and triage was outside. I was only a few feet away when they brought a stretcher over. Young man was a mess. Captain nurse bent over him and he looked at her and said "You are so beautiful" and took his last breath. The angel in green covered him and called for the next with tears flowing. I left shortly thereafter and will never forget that scene. Every darn one of them deserves a medal and a thank you. Maybe a big hug thrown in.
God bless these angels, particularly Sherry Barone
Thanks to ALL had served in my country vietnsm
After I was wounded I was blind temporary, and those nurses even wrote letters home for me. I had my son's baby pictures with me, as one of my team members pulled them out of my ammo can and put them in my pocket before the bird came to get me. I was 22 and scared to death. I thought I would never see again and I had two years of college in a Fine Arts degree. After several operations, I was sent to the states and more operations. I don't know how they had the strength to put up with us and still care. Thank you all so very much.
I'm weeping,, When the battle was over, their battle began, and they never saw victory,, God bless those "ROUND EYES", That wall in DC would be a lot longer if not for you
God bless them all
Nan jan.69 to march 70
Brave an beautifull❤️🙏👏🎖🎖🎖
No medicine is as powerful as a Womans Touch.
What a great tribute to these heroic and selfless women. God has a special place in Eternity for these combat medics. Never underestimate the power, the determination, and the compassion of the Lord’s women. No warrior ever held a sword in combat before holding their mother’s hand. These women put their face of humanity in front of carnage and death in a time of war.
Thank you for your service to our Nation.
Thank you all ladies. Usmc
God bless you,thank you for everything! Welcome home! From a vietnam army vet,69-70

These nurses saved many lives in Viet Nam everyone should receive the Metal Of Honor.
Its so hard to explain how much a kind caring nurse can be to you when you are receiving care far from home....God bless all these amzaing ladies work, kindness, love and real compassion... All I can say is they will definately be first in heaven.....
Operating Nurse in Vietnam May 1969-Dec 1970. 3rd Surg, IV Corps, and 45th Surg III Corps.

Unsung heroes!!!!!!! Thank you.
Would have liked to see SSG Marks of the HQ 18th MP Brigade at Long Binh. She got engaged to a guy from Georgia while in-country, but I don't know whether they ever got married. I was glad to see LTC Martha Raye (yes, THAT Martha Raye) there, although I had not 'heard that she served in Vietnam. Courageous, lovely ladies all.
Brave ladies.
