    True. The nurses did hold hands with seriously wounded soldiers and yet some still made it home alive after evacuation to Japan. Many cases we never heard that they made it and found them years later. Miracles happened.

I visited the 24th Evac while there on one occasion and was treated well by the nurses I encountered. May God bless you angel!

    Thank you Lou Eisenbrandt for sharing your experiences in Vietnam. I served with the U. S. Air Force at Danang Airbase, 11/68 - 11/69. I was fortunate that my only needs of medical care in Vietnam were mild compared to those of the ground troops that were in contact with enemy troops on a daily basis. I don't recall meeting a military nurse during my time in Southeast Asia. In April of 1969, our bomb dump caught fire and for three days the explosions continued. Three of our AC-47D Spooky gunships were prepared to evacuate to Chu Lai so that we could provide ground support for the ground troops. I was a crew chief so went with my aircraft when it went to Chu Lai. We spent five days there, our aircraft flying at night and us maintenance troops working on them each day to prepare for another night of providing support for the ground troops. The Marines and Army troops at Chu Lai treated us well while we were there and made sure we ate well and had whatever we needed to keep the aircraft in tip-top shape.

    I LIVED IN Cam Duc for 4 years!!! I knew there was something going on there but was not sure of what exactly. I know about the old airstrip. I was the security guy in a Gold Room at Phuoc Son Gold mine. 2009 - 2013. The mine was a short drive straight up into the deep thick triple canopy jungle just at the Laos Border. Crazy times and stories I have experienced and heard over my 7 years in country. Anyway, I will not waste anymore time other than to say, this is one of the best interviews I have ever seen from these amazing warriors of the sky. Thank you for all of your service and making time to record your story. I would love to hear more as I know you have tons more. I am... Have been living in Thailand full time since 2013 after my last contract in Vietnam. I would love to take you to lunch if you ever get to Beautiful Gorgeous Bangkok Thailand 🇹🇭 🌺 🌴 🌴 🙏 Thank you. 🙏 🇺🇸

    Thanks Tim. This series was extremely well done, and you have developed some excellent skill sets that emerge in these presentations. Having been there that night, this allowed me to collect some of my memories. I especially appreciated being able to listen (again) to the radio traffic that was so befuddling in "real time". This was my first opportunity in 30 years to review it. So here's to Marty, and here's to your guests and the rest of us who were there that night and that make up an unfortunate fraternity within the brotherhood. #200
