Peace Together: The Courageous Story of an Army Nurse and a Medic Who Went to Vietnam So That Others May Live

When a young woman from Ohio seeks escape from her abusive childhood and a young man from Florida runs away from his dysfunctional home, they find themselves standing on the bloodsoaked soil of Vietnam, in the middle of a war, working side by side to save lives. Surrounded by enemy soldiers outside their compound and overwhelmed by the casualties of combat on their operating tables, they form a bond that can never be broken.
They save lives, they lose countless others. Every day they are faced with the worst of the war as young men pass on to the next life despite the work of their hands. Their paths finally cross outside of the operating room when they volunteer at a nearby orphanage. Though it is contrary to military policy for them to fraternize, as she is an officer and he is an enlisted soldier, they can’t help falling in love.
Keeping their relationship hidden from commanding officers, they are determined to survive their year-long deployments and return to America to create a much anticipated life of peace together.
With never before documented stories, Peace Together shares incredible first-hand accounts of the Vietnam War straight from the memories of the nurse and the medic who were there, serving their fellow soldiers from 1970-1971.
