I did not do much in RVN but the recognition these veterans display on UTube is priceless. All of us are brothers and sisters because of the experiences we shared.
We know the Greatest Generation. I believe that the Americans who walked the jungles, the highlands, the delta, and the coast of South Vietnam should be known as America's Bravest Generation.
My great aunt Dorothy was a nurse in WWII am a casualty clearing station in France. She would never talk about the war because it was too horrible. I imagine what horrors she must have seen every day. Thanks for this excellent presentation. Thanks so much for your service. My grandmother had Parkinson’s. Best wishes and eternal blessings to you Lou and to all the veterans. You have paid a steep price for us.
God Bless you Lou🇺🇸We cannot know of the horrors you endured but without you and the nurses in Vietnam many of our boys would not have come home. Thank you for your service!
You ae an angle Lou. You and all the Nurses from all the wars. I am a Marine who served from 1955-1959 (They couldn't get a war started) I also saw an interview you participated in. I just wanted to tell you how much I admire you for what you are doing with your book and talks.
A heartfelt sobering account how the medical core in South Vietnam operated. I was at the 91st Evac.,on Feb.20th1970. I finally got to see the ER from this presentation. I remember the ice cold metal table I was on, looking up at those Bright lights, that grey pin point light and people standing looking down on me. There was a full body type X-Ray screen over head and I could see the schrapnel in my body that they were looking for. They saved my life,and again when I Left IC, back to ER,total 27units blood. I'd like to locate the ER nurse who stopped one night after my first op. While we talked she was checking my charts I blacked out she yelled to the night shift nurse to get ER stat. I firmly believe she saved my life by stopping by that night. Anyone who may remember a short black haired capt.(I think) with a great smile and professional please contact me.🙏🇺🇸
Bless you and thank you for your service. I loved it when you said how you would hold a soldier’s hand as you waited for them to pass. They did not die alone and had a person that that cared holding their hand when that time came. Sometimes no medicine is the best medicine. Unfortunately we can not save everyone, but that empathy and compassion is everything. I good luck with your continued work with Parkinson’s. I have MS and am able to relate to what it is like to have a debilitating disease. Best wishes.
LOU -- You should be 100% Service Disabled Connected for the Agent Orange connected Parkinson's disease. The photos are very helpful in making the story more real. Bless you my dear.
I wish I had been born earlier and if I would have met This. Beautiful. Lady. I would have. Wooooed. Her. For. Real. She was so. Beautiful. Omg and a. Big. Heart. Too bad she Martied. But I can. Say. That. Man got a. Ultimate. Prize
It disgusts me to see America being willing to sacrifice such lovely and noble women in that American disaster and failure called Vietnam. Vietnam is one of the endless examples of men screwing up....and women trying to make it better or fix it. Not one of those women belonged in Vietnam any more than the men did. It wasn't America's fight and we had no right to be there. And don't give me any patriotic history lessons about Vietnam. I am a proud Vietnam/Draft resistor. The war had absolutely NO effect on American freedom, security and way of life.....win or lose.
@@Cab520 Such a totally ignorant statement made probably by one who is ignorant. I've answered clowns like you many times. I had NO place in Vietnam...in the first place. Therefore...NO ONE took my place. Wrap your head around that simple truth...since you are simple yourself.
@@Cab520 Looks like RU-vid deleted my original message. They needed to protect you. No one served in my place b/c I DIDN'T HAVE A PLACE IN VIETNAM....IN THE FIRST PLACE.
@@topgeardel none did but served at the time thinking they were doing right and duty. Only age and time brings truth and perspective. No one has or needs to protect me.
@@Cab520 Live and learn this statement..."You can be sincere...but be "sincerely" wrong. Sincerity doesn't guarantee what's truth and right. I had the courage and smarts to know that Vietnam was wrong and that it had absolutely nothing to do with American security and freedom. It wasn't rocket science to figure Vietnam out. They were ignorant and cowards both.... didn't matter how young.
