Tips For Visiting DC s Military Museums, Monuments, And Statues

Feb.23.2021 How do you eat an elephant? The answer, you all know, is one bite at a time. Visiting Washington, D.C., can feel just as overwhelming.

Without body armor or even bulletproof helmets, medics were in as much danger as their comrades and sometimes more. While soldiers could hunker down during bombardments, the medic ran towards the enemy to find the wounded, often with little more than a few bandages, some morphine, and a pair of blunt scissors, and little to no medical training.
