Sailor -thank you for sharing these important stories on Memorial Day Weekend. The name that came immediately to mind for me is not a soldier, but Dr. Michael DeBakey of Houston. He just recieved the Congressional Gold Medal as a citizen and M.D. who has made priceless contributions to our nation. Besides being a pioneer in heart surgery, and a world-renowned physician, he is also the brainchild behind the concept and development of the earliest MASH units, or mobile army surgical hospitals. Thanks to his efforts, and countless others who worked by his side, soldiers in the battlefield are able to receive comprehensive surgical care at the point of battle, thus saving countless lives that before the advent of the MASH units might have been lost. There is interesting information about Dr. DeBakey here.
I applaud Dr. DeBakey today, along with all our men and women in uniform. And I remember and honor those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. My grandfather saw...
