Good piece. The nurses were tops in my book. After 51 years, I still think almost daily about three of the nurses that took care of me after I got wounded; one at Travis AFB Hospital and two at Letterman General Hospital and the Presidio of San Francisco. The one at Travis was only for three or four days -- until I had recovered enough from the flight over the Pacific to make the short chopper light to the Letterman. I can't remember her name, but she stayed by my side the whole time I was there. She waited on me hand and foot. She even cut my food and fed me. It was something I never imagined would every happen to me. I was in the same ward for a couple of months at Letterman and got to know the nurses real well. I still remember the full names of my two favorite nurses there.

Great post about what the nurses did.
