Army nurses Vietnam PTSD suffering, my wife's aunt Deb I love Deb I ramble

[TEB]

Today Deb is 74 a widow she was nurse Vietnam.I know she retired army as lieutenant colonel after her career in army. Then went to work at hospital as civilian. What makes me smile vets today I pick up Deb. From hair appointment she climbs into Tacoma. And boog the chocolate lab and Duncan the golden retriever puppy are like hey we love hair perm smell. Let’s lick you aunt deb we as K-9’s love licking chemicals kind of like huffing.

I joke yet my point is Deb dealt with wounded our people as nurse in Vietnam. I never ask her about her experience. I am lucky in the fact as a airborne infantry paratrooper that I skated never no war 84-87 . My point is we as vets overlook nurses in my ramble and deb is fine people. Since my wife has been ill we’re cool my wife is in rehab be home soon. Deb came to help she is great people she is selfless to this day.

7. That's a great story.

And I’m glad you were there.

A lot of those saw horrible wounds all the time. And the heart breaks they dealt with.

I mean wouldn’t it be they saw more than the combat troops? While troops only see it when someone was wounded. It would seem the medical people would see it daily.

8. Those Army nurses in Vietnam

were the best, I was wounded in '67, medivaced to a MASH unit where the Army personnel, especially the nurses, were highly competent.

Deb is so lucky to have someone like you around to make her day better.
