Product Description
The Navy nurses who served during the Korean War did not see themselves as heroes. But through their tireless professional service, and kind words and deeds, they made an impact on the lives of thousands of U.S. Marines. Through the stories of the nurses and of those they served, the author creates an unforgettable mosaic combining the brutality of war with the incredible compassion of the navy nurses.

The Forgotten Heroes July 30, 2000
William Evans (Centreville, VA USA)
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
A book such as Quiet Heroes is long overdue. It pays tribute to an easily forgotten group of quiet heroes, Navy Nurses, that quietly continue, even to this day, to provide dedicated care and comfort to our war casualties. Books are constantly written of the combat heroes, combat commanders, pilots, medal winners and even all their support personnel...until you come to the one class of heroe no one remembers, the Navy Nurse. By Ms. Omori focusing on the Navy Nurses of the Korean War (1950-1953) she captures an era on the brink of passing into our memories without tribute or recognition. Wonderfully supplemented with actual photographs and interviews of the quiet heroes themselves, the book pays that tribute long overdue. A must read for anyone interested in our nation's history and the agony suffered during the Korean Conflict.
