🙏🇺🇸🙏 "I'll Take Good Care of You" 🙏 Decades after the Vietnam War had ended, Patti Ehline was approached by a man who recognized her instantly. "You were my nurse in Vietnam," he said. "You took off my leg." She paused, searching her memory. There had been so many faces, so many wounded, so many moments that blurred together in the chaos of war. She couldn't place him. But he remembered her. Just before the anesthesia had taken him under, Patti had leaned close and whispered, "I'll take good care of you." Those were the last words he heard before losing consciousness—and the ones he carried with him for the rest of his life. Patricia Ann "Patti" Ehline had joined the U.S. Army Nurse Corps in 1966, following the path of her father, a veteran of two wars. By 1967, she was a registered nurse. A year later, at just 22 years old, she was sent to Vietnam—arriving during the deadliest year of the conflict. She was assigned to Lai Khê, where helicopters arrived day and night, carrying the wounded straight from the battlefield. The sound of rotor blades never stopped. Neither did the work. Her shifts stretched endlessly-twelve, sometimes twenty-four hours without rest. In those moments, there was no time to hesitate. Nurses like Patti had seconds to decide who could be saved, who needed immediate surgery, and who would not survive. Inside the hospital tents, the operating rooms never went quiet. Patti assisted in countless procedures, including amputations, her body pushed to its limits, her arms trembling from exhaustion. To survive it, she learned a painful truth—move fast now, feel it later. Danger always lurked. Patti had several near misses with mortars attacks. Just one week after Patti left Vietnam, another nurse, Sharon Lane, was killed in a rocket attack—the only American servicewoman to die from direct enemy fire during the war. In 1970, Patti returned home as a First Lieutenant, decorated for her service. But the war did not stay behind. Like many veterans, she carried it with her. The memories, the sounds, the faces—they followed her into her quietest moments. Nightmares came. Sleep didn't. At the time, there were no words for what she was experiencing. PTSD was not yet widely recognized, and many suffered in silence. Over the years, she turned her pain into purpose —working to support veterans and bring awareness to the invisible wounds of war. Today, living in Colorado, she continues to share her story—not just for herself, but for the thousands of women whose service was often overlooked. Nearly 11,000 American military women served in Vietnam, most of them nurses. They worked in the shadows of war, saving lives, making impossible choices, and carrying the weight of it all long after the fighting stopped. Men who still remember, years later, the calm voice of a young nurse leaning close in the middle of chaos, offering the only thing she could promise in that moment: "I'll take good care of you." And she did. God bless this American hero 🙏🇺🇸🙏

🙏🇺🇸🙏 Rockets slammed into the hospital while surgeons operated. A young Army nurse refused to leave the wounded behind. Janet Sullivan Bandell arrived in 1968 at the 95th Evacuation Hospital near Da Nang during the Vietnam War. She was a Second Lieutenant in the United States Army Nurse Corps. The hospital was a fragile fortress. Tents. Sandbags. Helicopters landing every hour with wounded soldiers. Inside those tents, chaos never stopped. Day and night helicopters brought men torn apart by mines, bullets, and explosions. The operating tables rarely cooled. Bandell moved quickly through the wards. Checking pulses. Stopping bleeding. Holding frightened soldiers steady while surgeons worked. Then came the rocket attacks. Explosions shook the hospital compound. Sirens screamed across the base. Sometimes the staff had to drop to the ground while rockets exploded nearby. But the wounded could not wait. Bandell stayed. She kept working under dim lights and lanterns, helping doctors operate while debris and dust filled the air. One night a young soldier looked up at her after a devastating injury. His voice trembled. "Ma'am... am I going to make it?" Bandell squeezed his shoulder. "We're in this together." The quiet courage of nurses like her saved thousands of lives during the war. Yet history often remembers the battles and the generals. Not the nurses standing beside operating tables while rockets fell outside 🙏🇺🇸🙏

We are in the middle of the battle to pass the SAVE America Act. This is simple, commonsense legislation that will protect our elections. We need to get it done.

When they finally convict Obama for spying on Trump, he can serve his time in his library in solitary confinement, with food slipped under the door. People can learn from his mistake.

Vinnie, a gelatinous slob from NJ, thought it was smart to post a video of himself decapitating a Donald Trump doll with a knife. He also belts out “F*ck Donald Trump” songs & signs from home. Does his employer know? @SecretService, pay him a visit. Profile screenshot in comments.

So 🤔 what do y’all think about immigrants coming to America, being here 5 minutes, can barely speak English, getting elected to public office and demanding changes like defunding the police, abolishing ICE and restricting the firearms you can possess. My message to these ‘New’ Democrats…to all Democrats. GFY💯
