This play is a retelling of memories of nurses who served in Vietnam during the war of the sixties.

But it is also a reflection of all nurses who have served in all wars. Volunteers, sharing the ever present dangers of the unknown in conditions that sometimes beggar the imagination.

So when we think of heroes we should think not only of the men in uniform who have fought to preserve our freedoms and way of life, but the women who nursed, read to, talked to and gave hope to those wounded and dying.

These women who hail from every country in times of danger, never receiving their due in public perception  - only in the memories of those whose lives they touched.

I hope that tonight will give us all cause to acknowledge the huge debt we owe to them.
