ANGELS IN VIET NAM ~ WOMEN WHO SERVED
Stories and Poems by and about the Women who served in Viet Nam
JAN HORNUNG
Cry, laugh, and share women's Viet Nam war experiences in their own words in this collection of stories, poems, and pictures of the Women Who Served. Over 11,000 women from America, New Zealand, and Australia went to Viet Nam as nurses, American Red Cross workers, physical therapists, entertainers, librarians, and more. Ride along in a helicopter on a Christmas Day mission of the heart with Army pilots and American Red Cross Donut Dollies, in Viet Nam, 1969. Meet Gary's angel, a physical therapist who a wounded soldier found over three decades later to tell her, "thank you." Take a trip back to the war with a woman when she finds her true love, a soldier fighting in Nam. Experience the war through a nurse's eyes. Learn where the veterans are today. Read about the Australians and New Zealanders who served in Viet Nam. Find out why male Viet Nam veterans think the women who nursed, comforted, entertained, or just talked with them were Angels in Viet Nam. Forward by David Hackworth, author of About Face and Steel My Soldiers' Hearts.
