28 Jul 2006 Most medics spent 6 months in combat and 6 months back at the rear aid station. Doc spent a total of 9 months with us on line before going in just before he died. "For those who manned the battle line the bugle whispers low, and freedom has a taste and price the protected will never know" From a combat buddy, Don Kalahar dkalahar@charter.net
