“Military women” are remarkable creatures! They have to be, in order to withstand the difficulties of their academic career training and the anxiety that comes from being away from their loved ones.
I wonder if it was more difficult to be a nurse during World War II than to be a nurse during our present war in IRAQ or Afghanistan. War participants use to be only men for the most part, however today the roles have been extended to the women of great valor. These women have to give so much of themselves such as: put on hold having babies and just having a “normal life”. We owe them much and when they return from their deployment the least we can do is celebrate their return. We are indebted to them for the liberty and peace we enjoy in our country, furthermore our neighbors to the north and the the south almost by default, are able to reap the benefits of their heroism and dedication. As a hospital clinical nurse one can be faced with life and death situations, but I do not think that it will ever match or achieve the degree of service and life experience in the life of Military Nurses. Military Nurse I salute you!object width=”480″ height=”385″>
