    Thank you, Diane, and your fellow medical specialists. I was in the Signal Corps right next door to your 71st Evac Hospital, there at Tropo Hill, north of Pleiku City. That was from Aug68 to Dec68. While I was there my cousin was working with the 4th Infantry Engineers on the roads and bridges between KonTum and DakTo. He and I were both from Harrisburg, PA, and we are the same age. While I was up there my cousin was injured when his unit was attacked by the NVA near DakTo. He got shrapnel on his back and backside. He was taken to your hospital on a Dust-Off Huey. While your unit treated him for the next 8 or 9 days I visited him to make sure he was on the mend. Eventually, he was well enough to return to duty and we both made our way home, got married, and had families. He and I still get together during family events, and he thanks your Evac Hospital for saving his life from all the bleeding. Again, thank you for being there to take care of the men and women of our Armed Forces.

    Such admiration for the women who were in Vietnam. America should be so ashamed of themselves for protesting against their men being in Vietnam. They did not want to be there
    You women are heroes

    Dear Diane...and all the other Vietnam Vet nurses...I'm almost speechless. I can't fathom the depth of enduring courage, caring, and selfless giving you gave. Truly you have been the unsung heroines of our Nation. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so grateful to have become aware of you after hearing you speak so beautifully and eloquently on this Memorial Day PBS TV special. Bless you all....🙏💜

    Watching this makes me cry. Thanks for your service and comnpassion. I'm a Viet Nam Era veteran. Never in country but if I was and was wounded would have hoped for someone like you to be there with me.

    God bless the nurses who served in Vietnam. I served with the army in 1969, and was severely wounded by mortar/rocket fire in December of that year. If not for the nurses, doctors, and Medevac helicopter pilots, I would not be here typing this in 2004 at the age of 75.
