A bit late....
...but still something that needs to be posted.
I saw this on Vet's Day. Vietnam Nurses with Dana Delaney Very powerful. Made me sad to see young women so mentally wounded by war. The loss of young men to war is horrible, but part of it is hard wired into humanity. It's what we do. But seeing women placed in harms way so, is not easy to watch. One of the reasons that many are opposed to women in combat is not sexist, but that we value them so much.

Great post, Du, and I agree completely.
Plus, China Beach is where I fell in love with Dana Delaney. Nobody filled out an OD t-shirt like her...

I said to myself as I was watching these women tell their stories "They shouldn't even be there as nurses...".
One told that on her arrival a nurse gave her some advice..."Shoot yourself in the foot or get pregnant NOW...".

Those are great pics of the memorial. As impressive as they are, when standing in front of it, the memorial itself will bring tears to your eyes.
