When I picture the image of a wounded soldier lying bleeding on a battlefield somewhere, I know close by a nurse is waiting in nervous anticipation to come to his aid. I have always felt that nurses and soldiers go hand in hand throughout the history of war and peace. They compliment each other in a relationship that cannot be defined. I have never fought in a war, but I have spent time caring for our Veterans. They are a unique bunch of people who I have had the privilege of meeting.
