YORBA LINDA, CA, UNITED STATES, May 6, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Retired military nurse and author Lorna Griess dives deep into her powerful tell-all, “MAS*H Vietnam: What It's Like to Be a War Nurse,” revealing the raw and vivid experiences of a young nurse in a Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MAS*H) during the Vietnam War. She shares the daily drama, challenges, and emotional toll experienced by those on the front lines of care with raw honesty and a poignant narrative.

Drawing from her firsthand experiences, Griess transports readers inside a MAS*H unit, exposing not only the rigorous medical procedures but also the psychological challenges of giving treatment in a battle zone. She candidly explores the harsh truths of war—its grim challenges, the tumult of the operating room, and the bonds formed amidst struggle.

This book transcends a simple chronicle of war; it unfolds as a deeply personal journey of a nurse who pursued her passion and dedication to aid others, even in the chaos of Vietnam. Griess delves into the intense emotions she encountered when she returned home to a nation torn apart by an unpopular conflict, wrestling with her identity and navigating her connections with family and friends who struggled to grasp her experiences.

Having devoted her career to the Army Nurse Corps, Lorna Griess actively served in hospitals around the globe for nearly thirty years following her tour in Vietnam. After retiring as a full colonel and chief nurse at Letterman Army Medical Center in San Francisco, she actively champions veterans' causes as a legislative liaison for the Military Officers Association of America. Alongside her advocacy work, she passionately creates art, with her oil paintings displayed in numerous galleries throughout Sacramento, including the esteemed Crocker Art Gallery.
