Bruce Williams-Burden, former Navy Corpsman (RVN), wrote a book earlier this year year titled "Luminous Base". The book is a well-researched collection of respectful and caring stories of Corpsmen killed in action. In April, I posted a review of the book here on my blog.

With Bruce's permission, I am posting a chapter from his book which you will find very inspiring...
