Through the Gates of Baghdad

As told to Jed Babbin by Ollie North:

.... He said the pilots were amazingly cool under fire, but his highest praise was for the corpsmen. These medics have only one job: keep the wounded alive long enough for them to get to the MASH unit where real doctors can take over. Ollie told me how he watched these men struggle with what he called "extraordinary courage and skill" to save the wounded, going out into the killing zone to do it. All but three carried on that helo today survived....
