I cried at this. My husband never talks about the horrible things he saw in his multiple tours in Iraq. I remember him telling me on one of our too few calls that he didn’t have a uniform left that didn’t have blood on it. When he got home after his last deployment, it was months before I could turn on the ceiling fan. It reminded him of chopper rotors and he’d wake up already in motion thinking wounded were coming in. It broke my heart.

I spent ten years as a Corpsman in the Navy. Other than the birth of my sons, my proudest achievement in life was the day I earned title Doc. Doesn't happen the moment you join, not even after being assigned to the Marines. Funny thing is what lead to that moment I didn't think I had done anything other than my job. Once upon a time Hm2 (FMF) USN 1986 - 1996.

My uncle had his law degree from Notre Dame University, then entered WWII. He served in both European & Asian Theaters abound the "Lyon" as a pharmacist mate (like a medic). When my brothers became history buffs he finally told them about fishing survivors of kamikaze attacks out still burning from the fuel, tending to German prisoners (and not letting anyone else on the ship know he spoke German), burying their dead at sea, and so much more that this gentle soul had seen and done. RIP Jack Lynch.

I always called my doc when I was in the corps doktor. I can do the basics but doc knows how to have that mother's love. I remember having kidney stones and he gave me the "unacceptable" help. Doc Arthur literally made everything easier just knowing he was there. I miss that comfort knowing my doc was their vs now my civilian life. I miss having out with a guy who you can tell em about everything and not worry about em being stupid

I don’t know if they do this in the US forces but, in the Canadian forces not only do they have military doctors but, civilian medical staff that volunteer for service regularly. They learn a lot of techniques that they take back with them to use for wound and injury treatment. My grandfather was a chaplain in WW 2 and set up recreation centres and worked with the injured and dying on the front line. I know for sure that he had PTSD when he returned. He would be walking with my grandmother and a car would backfire. He would disappear and my grandmother would find him on the ground. One of his jobs was catching and putting out incendiaries on building during the London bombings. He and my uncle, who was a bombardier never talked about their experiences. I only found out about it when my mom was a historian and archivist for the Salvation Army. My grandfather was a major in the Salvation Army and was immediately given the same rank in the military.

The young men and women serving our country all volunteered. From 1940 until 1973, during both peacetime and periods of conflict, men were drafted to fill vacancies in the United States Armed Forces that could not be filled through voluntary means. Active conscription came to an end in 1973 when the United States Armed Forces moved to an all-volunteer military.
