Angels of the Battlefield: Wartime Nurses

March 31, 2016 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm

Free

Featuring the first-hand accounts of military nurses who cared for troops injured on the frontlines, this program will honor the invaluable role of wartime nurses. A panel of nurses, including three who served in the Vietnam War, will share personal stories of how their care and support helped make a difference between life and death. They’ll also discuss the emotional impact suffered by witnessing the personal and devastating costs of war.

A multi-media presentation will include Cathy Drake, a nurse who was assigned to two MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital) units during the Korean War.  Drake and her husband Dale, an anesthesiologist while in Korea, are well-known for helping to inspire the book that became the hit movie and television series M*A*S*H.

The Angels of the Battlefield program will be held inside the climate-controlled Smokey Stover Theater aboard the USS Yorktown. The event is part of Patriots Point’s “Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things” education series. Admission and parking are both free
