I will always cherish that encounter and conversation.swampfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06722580097405962243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-16322902931728880112014-08-27T18:35:49.044+01:002014-08-27T18:35:49.044+01:00I saw her in Sep or Oct67.

The next day a large number of those helicopter crewmen and advisors became casualties in an operation that went sour. Maggie gave a pint of blood and then went to work in the small OR as a nurse. Quite the trooper and very proficient at using expletives.<br /><br />Later in my SF days guys told me of her drinking prowess while visiting A camps and FOBs.TomR,armed in Texasnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-6348342113518946662014-08-27T07:59:20.631+01:002014-08-27T07:59:20.631+01:00Hey Sean,
I remembered doing a post about her...Hey Sean,<br /><br /> I remembered doing a post about her last year? You had dropped her name on a post you were doing and I decided to do a bit of research on her and there was a lot! She was also a nurse. She was uniformly loved by the GI's. Nancy Sinatra was also very popular with the troops for the myriad of USO shows she did. A lot of GI's especially talk fondly for those women that made the time to go see them.MrGarabaldihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05768774166065615995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6340335897594941637.post-6229428110796134772014-08-27T06:39:12.669+01:002014-08-27T06:39:12.669+01:00Much respect for this lady!

Word came down that she & some rear-echelon VIPs would be arriving, if we could locate a suitable LZ. We were also informed that, despite the fact that our feet were totally trashed (shriveled, cracked & bleeding) from what they called immersion-foot, we were to state otherwise, if anyone happened to inquire. FTA!!! --- if ya know what I mean.<br /><br />We hacked out a very small LZ & she came in for about a ten minute stay. It was fairly brutal terrain & I was totally impressed that she actually wanted to be there.<br /><br />Also, remember singer Connie Francis doing an unscheduled 15 or 20 minutes for about 15 wounded troops. We really appreciated it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
