“As warfare evolves, the wounded soldier lies on the battlefield still, desperately hopeful that someone will race toward enemy fire, slide to a stop, and say, “It’s okay, I’ve got you.” Every word of encouragement and care is an echo of Jonathan Letterman’s legacy.”
― Surgeon in Blue: Jonathan Letterman, the Civil War Doctor Who Pioneered Battlefield Care
― Surgeon in Blue: Jonathan Letterman, the Civil War Doctor Who Pioneered Battlefield Care
“Men endured the long winters at night in the dim light of a candle stuck on the end of an upright bayonet”
― Surgeon in Blue: Jonathan Letterman, the Civil War Doctor Who Pioneered Battlefield Care
― Surgeon in Blue: Jonathan Letterman, the Civil War Doctor Who Pioneered Battlefield Care
“The world’s armies had no organization for battlefield evacuation. Some had tried, such as the French, who in 1859 relied on military musicians as stretcher bearers. In America, the concept of corpsmen and medics didn’t exist. A soldier relied on his comrades to possibly drop their rifles and staunch his bleeding or push his intestines back into his lacerated abdomen.”

“They [442nd Regimental Combat Team] did more than defend America. They helped define America at its best...Rarely has a nation been so well served by a people it has so ill-treated.”

“I am tired of the sickening sight of the battlefield with its mangled corpses & poor suffering wounded. Victory has no charms for men when purchased at such cost.”

“Today we say goodbye to a proud warrior. As we leave, each of us will take our members of [USS} Midway with us...you guys were the 'Magic.' It was a privilege to sail with you.”

“Today, more than 23 million veterans walk among us. Nearly 3 million receive disability compensation, and many more owe their lives to an anonymous corpsman or medic. Millions of Americans and their families are profoundly grateful.”

“Although Higgins's men had finally received some badly needed supplies, some of his wounded were becoming critical, and the overall health of his troops continued to ebb. Meanwhile, the price among the 442nd's battalions paid to reach Higgins's men had reached gut-wrenching levels. And for General Dahlquist, panic would supplant his anger and frustration.”
