The Tragic Bonds of War

Every life that is lost in war is someone's father, mother, brother,sister, husband, wife, relative or friend. It is little comfort for those who have already lost loved ones, but I hope that some comfort for the medical workers can be achied through the knowledge that technology is underway that may prevent future saddness and grief such as this by new equipment that could make it possible to find and stop internal bleeding in the field.

As an RN and a mother of an RN who is currently serving in Camp Bucca, Iraq, I had tears when I read this article and i can only imagine how horiible situation our service men are going thru out there specially when they loose what they tried very hard to save. C. raudedbush I am so sorry for your loss, May God bless you and our soldiers . Thank you all for your services.

This wonderful article was forwarded to us by our daughter and son-in-law who are nurses at the 86th CSH - she in ICU and he in the ER. I know how true this story is and how much they care, love and are personally connected to their fellow soldiers-as they are truly brothers/sisters in this war. My sincere condolences to all the families who have lost a loved one, I cry with you-God Bless you and your family. And thank you to everyone at the 86th CSH, you are all very special - We are proud of you.

I cry every time I read this story, and as the wife of the author, I've read it many times. I'm not sure which makes me cry more, the tragic death of the soldier, or the fact that my husband and his team could not save him. Or maybe it's the unwritten truth that unfortunately, my husband has participated in way too many Angel Flights on his incredibly long 15-month deployment. To all the members of the 86th CSH, thank you for your service.

The patient discussed in this article was my husband-I would like to thank you for the care that you give day in and day out. Ann was a great friend to my husband and I, and we are so grateful that he died with the best nurse available at his bedside..Thank for you sharing your story.

What a touching story. I have so much respect and admiration for them, I can't imagine what they must go through.

John,
It's great what you do to help your patients! What you must realize is that when they pass away they are still around as your family members also. I can prove this beyond a shadow of a doubt!
