(More customer reviews)History -- : Unsung Heroes Navy Corpsmen: The Blood Angel From a former Hospital Corps WAVE, who served from 1977-1982. This is a concise & objective view of a special breed of sailor - those called to minister to the sick & injured, primarily sailors & Marines, but Corpsmen "don't stop & look for a Marine or Navy uniform". The history begins with just a brief mention of "lob-lollie boys" who helped ships' surgeons in the earliest years of United States formation as a nation. the next brief glimpse comes with the Civil War. In this case, it seemed as Hospital Corpsmen were no different than Army medics & were called "surgeons' stewards". Finally, when the video addresses WWI, it seems the distinct history of the Hospital Corps becomes evident. During WWII, the viewer is told Hospital Corpsmen are known as Pharmacists' Mates. I would have liked to have heard when that designation was used & why & then when the designation Hospital Corpsman started to be used. The histores of Korean War & Vietnam War were satisfactory, given the time requirement for the entire program. In the end, it made me proud & I can proudly say "I was one of them!"
