The Combat Medic Prayer

Oh, Lord I ask for your divine strength to meet the demands of my profession.

Help me to be the finest medic I can be, both technically and tactically.

If I am called to the battlefield, give me the courage to conserve and protect our fighting forces by providing medical care to all that are in need.

If I am called to a mission of peace and mercy, give me the strength to lead by caring for those who need my assistance.

Finally, Lord give me the strength and insight to take care of my own spiritual, physical, and emotional needs.

Teach me to trust in your presence, protection and never-failing love.

AMEN

[Professional Engineer]

No doubt about it. It was an Honor to serve under his leadership.

Thought for the day :
"Ours is a world where people don`t know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it."

That's true!

Good post as usual, we in EOD always felt it important to be on good terms with the Medical Service Corp, because they were the ones who supplied the Medical Alcohol for the parties.

Check out the lastest on the Useful Fools Vets against Kerry. We have a former Vietnamese pilot sharing his thoughts which are quite interesting.

Got this in an E-mail this morning

U.S. VETERANS & VIETNAMESE UNITE TO OPPOSE JOHN KERRY

Vietnamese Americans Against John Kerry

Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry (V.V.A.J.K.) today announced a national coalition with Vietnamese Americans for Human Rights in Vietnam.

"We represent hundreds of thousand of American veterans who do not want to see John Kerry any where near the Oval Office," said Ted Sampley, founder of V.V.A.J.K, and a U.S. Army Green Beret and veteran of two combat tours in Vietnam.

Said Sampley, "I have personally dealt with John Kerry on the issue of US POWs left behind in Vietnam. Kerry is not truthful and is not worthy of the support of US veterans. Many Vietnam vets have been duped into thinking Kerry is their friend. He is not. To us, he is ‘Hanoi John’"

Dan Tran said speaking as a member of Vietnamese Americans Against John Kerry, "On behalf of tens of thousands of Vietnamese-Americans, we are determined to demonstrate against Senator Kerry all across this nation."

Dan Tran, a NASA engineer and president of the Vietnam Human Rights Project, said, "John Kerry aided and abetted the communist government in Hanoi and has hindered any human rights progress in Vietnam."

John Kerry has fought harder for the Vietnamese communists than he fought against them in Vietnam, says Mike Benge, former civilian Viet Nam POW. In the Senate, Kerry blocked Vietnam Human Rights (and religious freedom) Bill on behalf of Hanoi, while the Vietnamese communists continue to wage a war of repression against the non-communist Vietnamese and a war of genocide against our former allies the Montagnard ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.

The Coalition plans nationwide demonstrations against Kerry beginning with the New York and Massachusetts primaries.

Coalition spokesman Mike Benge, a US POW in Vietnam for 5 years is available for interviews.

I have got some of the guys posting on the Useful Fools site joining the FReepers. Keep reading that site as it develops, very interesting. We could use a little more help. What is interesting the libs are beginning to shut up on the site.

Hi Sam. (Trying to shake up the line-up a bit. :-))

[SAMWolf]

Well, I enjoy seeing how many of the planes you come up with I've heard of.

[Samwise]

I'm having a bad day because the story about the little girl from Florida is really eating me up. I came to the foxhole to see some friends and read about the good guys who protect us from the bad guys.

How perfect that when I come here today's thread is about healers.

[snippy_about_it]

Good afternoon Samwise. I know it was heartbreaking first thing this morning to read about that. We hope the Foxhole is always a place of comfort for folks.

I try to always remember what I've learned here and the hell our troops have gone through whenever I'm having a bad day. There is sad news all around us but there certainly is more good in the world than bad, and you can come here to be reminded of that.

Now am I going to have to buy some girl scout cookies from you this year?
