Miracle Workers: American Medical Personnel in Vietnam, 1965-1973,” runs on May 25th 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. in the museum’s Education Room.
the format will consist of a panel discussion between three who were directly and intimately involved – a surgeon, a nurse and a seriously wounded patient:
- Capt. C.A. Sweatman was a surgeon with the U.S. Army’s 25th Division. During his tour in South Vietnam from 1967-68, he would earn the Silver Star.
- Capt. Linda Sharp Caldwell was a nurse at the 67th Combat Support Hospital in Qui Nhon from 1967-68. In that extreme environment, she acquired skills a civilian nurse seldom would.
- Lt. Alex Miller was a forward observer with the 4th Infantry Division. He was severely wounded in December 1969 in the Mekong Delta.
