Mine came as a 17 year old army helicopter medic in Vietnam. Flying back and forth into the evacuation hospital at Cu Chi, I was continually amazed at the compassion and care given to our wounded, dying and often dead shown by the wonderful nurses at the receiving facility. Such loving acts to our crew also. Simple stuff as a cup of coffee, a sandwich, a coke and a hug. American gals, caught up in our common bond of **** and wanting to get home, same as us. I loved, respected and admired them. 'They' planted the seed which I nourished and was fortunate to carry the legacy forward.
