My dad was a Navy corpsman. In WWII he was in the Pacific and since he was tall and fast, he was a "runner"...the guy they sent out under fire with the one-man stretcher to bring back the guys who went down. Said that the most used thing in his bag was gauze and morphine.

That's about all I've ever gotten out of him wrt the war. That and the name or two of ships he served on. I can only imagine what he saw...
