As a disabled veteran of the Vietnam Conflict, I'd like to give a shout out to the women who took care of me for 8 months (1969-70) from Vietnam, to Japan, and home to Fort Devens, Ma. Army Hospital. If not for you nurses I would not be here at 75 years of age typing this. THANK YOU!

    A big "OOO-rah" to Suzanne & a thank you as well! My Sainted Mother was the acting command sergeant major of woman marines @MCAS Cherry Point from 1943 til 1945! She was forced to accept an honorable discharge when she married my father, and subsequently gave birth to me @Camp LeJeune, due to a lack of OBGYN facilities @Cherry Point!
    Anyhow, she was always PROUD of her status as a Marine, and I pass this shoutout, vicariously, to honor her memory, and as a heartfelt tribute to all women, everywhere, who wore this nation's uniform!
    MANY THANKS🥰👍❗️

    • @Cab520
      @Cab520 7 месяцев назад

      The reason was not obgyn. Pregnancy was not allowed. If a woman got pregnant she was shunned and kicked out unceremoniously. Not nice at all. The woman also was not taken care of by any va or service . The baby never recognized. The male marine received no action. Most were date rape or out and out rape. Your mother was married to a marine so treated differently.
