26 May 71
It was early morning when they came and got you and the litter bearers looked like they knew their job …It was all so unreal…Flat back strapped down rolling along from the ward saying goodbye to your ward buddies for the last time. Litter cart clack clacking on the rough concrete path. The cart man was in a hurry he hated being around all those guys leaving Vietnam strapped back down. Tubes and bags dangling with all sorts of juices dripping into and threw them besides he was short….Each time a stretcher was loaded it was the same gutteral strains as the man was lifted carried clump clumping up the wooden ramp past the one armed man and the faceless nurse To be lodged into the metal racks….
