Phoebe Pember gave her all to help our wounded American fighting men. Other names ring down from that era, like Barton and Nightingale. Just as good as humans get.
The story of Private Fisher and the hopeless (in that era) hemorrhage I have read before. War is a heart breaker.
In 1965 the Navy was looking for volunteers for Hospital Corpsmen school amongst my group for later service with the Marine Corps. I did not apply. Later, about 1978, I realized I had done the wrong thing in not volunteering. The regret is fading these days.

Morning Iris7.

Just a choice not taken, doesn't make it wrong.
