A Piece of My Heart

the long version

This is a wonderful book giving incredible personal insights from women who served in Viet Nam. They were nurses, Red Cross workers USO doughnut dollies and entertainers ,volunteers from catholic charities and the Friends international societies and women army corps members (who were truly pathfinders) and peace corps women. This a a must read for women serving in Iraq, Afghanistan and other war like areas of the world. Many struggled with post traumatic stress disorder and the difficulties of returning to an unwelcoming public. These are women who suffered the moral reprehension and turmoil that war brings.
