Edie Meeks had two brothers, one who was serving in Vietnam and the other who was protesting the war. She loved them both but decided that if something happened to her brother in combat, she wanted him to have the best care. She volunteered for the Army Nurses Corps, one of the thousands of women who served in Vietnam during the war, working 12 hours a day, six days a week, fighting to save lives and haunted by those who died.
