This is the true story of the nurses who served a twelve month tour
of duty with the 12th/483rd USAF Hospital, Cam Ranh Bay Air Base,
Republic of Vietnam from 1965-1972. It was a nasty war in a remote
land on the far side of the world; its rationale a mystery to many
who were called to sacrifice for a country not fully committed to
the fray. This is an untold story of the second largest military
hospital in South Vietnam and of its courageous medical team. It is
a poignant tale of the countless wounded soldiers whose mangled
bodies were pieced together and often sent back into the endless
battle... I went to Washington, D.C. in 1993 to attend the
dedication of the statue to honor the women veterans who served
during the Viet Nam Era. When I went to the stage area, where the
march down Constitution Avenue was to begin, I was told by one of
the Army Nurses that only those who served one year in the country
could march up front. Well, I informed her that I was stationed at
the large Air Force Hospital at Cam Ranh Bay for one year. She told
me that she wasn't aware of that Air Force hospital. So, when I
returned to my home, I decided to contact nurses that were
stationed in Cam Ranh Bay before, during and after me. They rapidly
sent pictures and stories of their tour. It is with thanks to these
ladies and all of their help that this story could be written.
