a real hero. a REAL woman. a real soldier. a real American. nothing else to say.

God bless her, I was medevac to the 91st Evac Feb 1971 with life threatening multiple gun shot wounds.
If it was not for a beautiful Army nurse that came into the ward at the right time, I would not be here 50 years later.
I wish I knew her name to thank her for my life….they saved so many of us, we can never thank them sufficiently.

A real American hero.  I was in Chu Lai and went to the 91st Evac.  They truly saved numerous lives of both sides and Vietnamese civilians as well. I could not have taken the 12 hours or more daily exposure to the tragedies of war they lived with for a year.  Sharon Lane and all the nurses, doctors and medics of 91st Evan. are among the most underappreciated Viet Nam vets, but not by those they served, or who saw the work they did.  God bless you all.

I like her a lot. She's blunt, honest and genuine.

I too served at the 91st all of ‘71. I was on a surgical team assisting surgeons in every form of trauma surgery. In fact, the hospital was completely destroyed while I was assisting the neurosurgeon during the last procedure ever performed at the 91st Evac. Typhoon Hester came ashore and obliterated everything in sight, turning most of our little buildings into matchsticks. What I remember about myself during that year was how I lost all feelings of shock about death and severe injuries, and wondered if I would ever regain those emotions. How would I feel when a family member or friend passed. The war most certainly changed me, and motivated me to not lose a single day in my pursuit of life. Lou is a wonderful human being, someone whom I readily understand and deeply respect.

Nurses are unsung heroines in every medical setting.  Lou gets all my respect and I thank her for giving final comforts to the fallen young men.  Her eyes tell her warmth, intelligence and her strong spirit to do her job over there!  How can we say a true thanks to women like Lou.♥️

Wow, what an amazing lady! Intelligent, bright, talented, patriotic, honest, decent, wholesome, beautiful, the list goes on. If we had more people like Lou in the world, it would be a far better place. Respect and thank you.

My sister nurse. 🥰  While you were saving lives in Vietnam, I worked in a stateside Vet's hospital, trying to rehab them back to a "normal" life back home. Without nurses & doctors like you...they wouldn't have made it back to us.  💖

I am a volunteer at my local VA Hospital.  Our nurses are incredible!

Thank you Lou Eisenbrandt. She very graciously told this guy the truth and not all of it was what he wanted to hear and she wisely knew it. American soldiers have fought and many have died for all of our freedoms. So many think of their personal freedom first and not of the total freedom of our society. People forget that their freedom ends where another citizens freedoms begins. Patriotism has been stolen and the flag has been soiled, shredded and flown in vanity  by many who see our country as only theirs. Those  brown eyes saw men die for every Americans freedom, every race, religion and gender, the right to vote easily and without intimidation . I cried when she saluted. She is a real patriot.

My wife is an RN. They are special people and any nurse who served in war is truly a heroine. And in my opinion a nurse as pretty as Lou Eisenbrandt is a treasure to a wounded young man. Listening to her story is enlightening and fascinating.
 Thank you Lou for your service.

LT Eisenbrant THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE YOU ARE ON OF A KIND!!!

So glad I happened on this video. I was a Dustoff (medical evacuation) helicopter pilot in Chu Lai from August, 1969 to August 1970. My callsign was Dustoff 82 so I delivered many, many casualties to the 91st Evacuation Hospital and to Lou Eisenbrandt. Maybe some of the ones she mentioned. As she said, the hospital was on a tall cliff above the South China Sea, which made for an interesting approach and departure. Our helicopters were based at a heliport called Ky Ha, just up the coast from the hospital. Not too far from the 91st was the 27th Surgical Hospital, the other place we delivered our casualties. It's possible our paths crossed in Chu Lai but can't say I remember it. Also possible we met at Ft. Sam during officer basic, probably at the Pit! Anyway, much respect for Lou and all the other nurses in RVN, who were a Godsend for the guys who were hurt.

Ms. Lou, The world is a brighter place for having you in it.  Thank you for your service and the care and kindness you gave to the sick and wounded who were under your care.
Incidentally, you were a beautiful young woman and that beauty has remained with you to this day.
God Bless you.

I served in Vietnam as an Aussie Soldier. I've also written a few poems, one being "Nightmare" relating to my experiences. I've since found that so many nurses have told me that they can really relate to this poem. I have nothing but the highest respect for these nurses and have also written a poem about nurses. God bless you one and all, I sincerely salute you and am grateful for what you do.

A real HERO  in my book. An elegant lady, a great American treasure.

Thank you for your service, Lou. I'm sure you left many souls with a smile.

U.S.M.C. Nam Vet here. Always remember it's hard to fight an enemy that doesn't wear a uniform.

It is nice to hear stories from our Women Veterans.  I am honored to be married to a Woman Veteran.  She served in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman, and she does her best to take care of me.  It is an honor to call her Doc.  Thank you Ladies for serving our Country.  God Bless you all.
