The Navy nurses who served during the Korean War did not see themselves as heroes. But through their tireless professional service, and kind words and deeds, they made an impact on the lives of thousands of U.S. Marines. Quiet Heroes highlights navy nurses stationed at the Naval Hospital Yokosuka and aboard the hospital ships USS Consolation, USS Repose, and USS Haven. Through the stories of the nurses and of those they served, the author creates an unforgettable mosaic combining the brutality of war with the incredible compassion of the navy nurses.
For fifty years, the U.S. Marines who were the patients of the navy nurses have wished to thank those who cared for them. Because the marines never knew the nurses' names, however, their efforts to find these nurses have been thwarted. Now, with the fiftieth anniversary of the Korean War, Quiet Heroes will finally give the nurses the recognition that they deserve. This book will touch your heart. It is a "must read" for all who love life and value the humanity in all of us.
