Medics are a special band of Heroes’ to me. They see it all, from a scratch to things that do not need to be seen or dealt with. They are a special bread.
ReplyDeleteVery smart title, very wise, and a very brave post, that makes people aware about what goes on

ReplyDeleteI know Brian, ( the Corpman in the photo) He is the sweetest most caring man I have ever met. The story behind the story. :) In Afghanistan the locals pack their wounds with mud and Brian was trying to clean the wound out.
