Clint shares his personal account of working in a recovery ward at the 91st Evacuation Hospital for a short time during the Vietnam War.

The piece highlights poignant interactions with two memorable patients — one recovering from a gunshot wound and another battling a severe infection known as "jungle rot." Integral to the story are the "Donut Dollies," young women from the Red Cross who brought comfort and a touch of home to the troops.
