THE SHIFTING SANDS OF CAM RANH BAY R.V.N. 1965-1972

– A True Story Of The U.S. Air Force Combat Nurses –

I went to Washington, D.C. in 1993 to attend the dedication of the statue to honor the women veterans who served during the Viet Nam Era.

When I went to the stage area, where the march down Constitution Avenue was to begin, I was told by one of the Army Nurses that only those who served one year in the country could march up front. Well, I informed her that I was stationed at the large Air Force Hospital at Cam Ranh Bay for one year. She told me that she wasn’t aware of that Air Force hospital.

So, when I returned to my home, I decided to contact nurses that were stationed in Cam Ranh Bay before, during and after me. They rapidly sent pictures and stories of their tour.

It is with thanks to these ladies and all of their help that this story could be written.
