I served in Vietnam with the army in 1969 at age 20, and I'm also from Massachusetts, born and bred. I was severely wounded in December of '69 and spent 8 months in army hospitals. I would like to take this moment to thank you and all the other nurses who served our country proudly in Vietnam. If not for their great care I probably wouldn't be here now at age 74 typing this. THANK YOU!

@antonleimbach648... If you have not seen this documentary, you'll find it informative. and touching. The 2006 documentary Vietnam Nurses With Dana Delany 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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKiYhZiFdquaja8

As a retired ER/Trauma RN, I salute you, M’am! 👩‍⚕️ I may not have been over there with the rest of you, my “heroes”, but I had surely planned on it. Yes, my parents were upset, but I wanted to go. However, as I came closer and closer to Graduation 🌹(our Nursing School was an accelerated program, but it still took 2-1/2 years til Graduation, then sit for Boards. So by then, the War was calming down, and Nixon was talking seriously about pulling our troops out. Which he did just as I received my packet telling me I was an RN! I got married and had two children instead 😘💕🙏🙋‍♀️, but never wanted anything but ER/Shock Trauma.....and that’s what I did for almost 40 years. I’ve taken care of some horrible things during my career......I worked in an inner city ER, so GSW were plentiful, sad to say. I’ve worked 14 -16 hour shifts just because there weren’t enough RN’s to cover when my 12-hour shift was over. Now I’m sure all you RN’s in Nam just worked until the patients coming in started to slow down - - no “shifts” there! I’m so very proud of you, and ALL the Vietnam Nurses! I love the Memorial in Washington, DC. We never did many cutdowns either....central lines worked IF there was an MD or a Fellow was around! You made me laugh, because I cannot remember in all my career ever starting any IV under an 18! Lol! During a big Trauma Alert, I would always sneak down to thread a 16 or 14 in the great saphenous vein while the Trauma Surgeons and Anesthesia were doing their thing. (That is, if they had a leg eft to do that!) God bless you richly and safely keep you, in Jesus’s Precious Name, Amen! THANK YOU FOR LAYING YOUR LIFE ON THE LINE FOR ME AND MINE! 🙋‍♀️💕✝️🙏🕊💜🌹

Donna thank you so much I loved listening about your experiences as an US Army nurse. It's people like you and your husband that make America great. My mother was also Army nurse and served during WW2 and was assigned to the 93rd Medical Evacuation Hospital. It was a triage hospital and the most forward hospital on the battle field. They were the first to receive the wounded before sending them off to the General Hospital in the rear area. My mother was a 1st Lieutenant and I remember the stories she would share of her experiences while she served in the 93rd Med Evac. Your story reminds me of the times my mom would talk to us about her experiences. Thank you again.

Not surprising. She is more than deserving. That reminds me of Tim Wilkinson during the Battle of Mogadishu. He braved intense enemy rocket and small arms fire to extract wounded, crossing open ground completely exposed 3 times, credited with saving four lives. Subsequently being awarded the Navy Cross. To juxtapose that, Jared Monti in Afghanistan, under intense enemy fire, he got up to rescue one wounded soldier. Immediately cut down. Rescued no one. Never even came close to even touching the downed soldier. Medal of Honor. Definitely a brave hero.... But a MoH?!?! The award system is broken. Reenlistment gets you a bronze star.. having a command position during deployment gets a bronze star. This woman, saving lives, wading through blood and broken bodies.... Nothing.

As a nurse, this makes me so proud!! I have ZERO idea of what these nurses went through, as I’ve never served and graduated in 2006, but I’ve known quite a few ex-military (mostly ARMY/Air Force) nurses who had served overseas and let me tell you, when I was a new ICU/trauma nurse after only been on the floor for about a year, they were the BEST! I would be freaking out (professionally, but freaking out big time inside😂) and they were always so calm! Nothing rattled them and they were great at educating and improvising. I’ve always been so lucky with all the machinery and other luxuries that stateside hospital nurses have seemingly always had in my lifetime, but hearing some of their stories over the years were so amazing. I truly love these stories and appreciate them so much! 🥹🇺🇸🫡

This woman is beautiful. I became an LPN back in the early 70’s and wanted to go to Viet Nam, unfortunately didn’t as I wasn’t an RN (yet) and things were beginning to change and the government was beginning to draw back personal going over. As a nurse in the states I gravitated to critical care. I got to do things back then that only RN’s do now. I loved that time in my career. I so admire those that went. I had teachers in my RN program that were X military nurses. They were THE BEST!. Thank you for your service I LOVE that she still remembers names of individuals she worked with.

Love this. Welcome Home. Thank you doesn't say enough. I was stationed at NAS South Weymouth, MA when I was in the Navy and originally from Macon, GA. So honored to hear your story. I have seen the wall and women's memorial. An awesome peaceful area.

The only time I ever ended up in an Evac Hospital was for a minor malady. It was comforting to we soldiers to know that we would receive great care if we ever needed it. May God bless you!

I was a C141 crew chief, we'd get medevacs coming through, these nurses took care of the soldiers in litters up on the plane. They were in motion the entire time the plane was on the ground taking care of them. If I was going to use one word to describe them it would be focused. My mom was a WWII nurse who met my dad in France

My brother was 101st Airborn Vietnam veteran severely wounded by friendly fire they said but the Army wouldn’t tell us where he was when wounded. After leaving a field hospital in Vietnam he was flown to Japan then after many weeks there to the Georgia and after a few weeks there off they sent his to Fort Ord, Ca to finish out his time. US Army 1964-1968 still has nightmares, PTSD, and many many health problems caused by agent orange. 100% disabled

Bless you Donna for all you did comforting & saving my brothers. I know what my nights were like when returning back to the world, but I cannot fathom what yours were when the lights went out. So hard returning home with brothers still in the fight, I wasn't & I continued to receive correspondence of young warriors deaths. I know combat Vietnam Vets have a very special place in their heart tucked away for those of us you/staff treated & knew you were there if needed. Thanks for all you do on our behalf & welcome home. Army 67 & 68 Tet O
