A Sherling

I'm a retired USAF officer (white male). As I watched the video, I thought more about the difficulties those young women faced, personally and in their official tasks. Personally, like all G.I.s far from home, especially at that time, many must have had periods of homesickness with no easy way to communicate with family, friends, and lovers back home. Also, they had to endure something male GIs didn't: their periods. The women had to do their jobs despite how they might have felt. As for their official tasks, how do you process the mail of so many men who had died? What about those who were wounded or ill and perhaps had been moved from one medical facility to another--even back to the States? What about those who were MIA or POWs? My admiration and appreciation of what they did grows by the day.
