Modern US Army rotary wing aeromedical evacuation operations and doctrinal concepts can be traced back to the Korean and Vietnam Wars. These early concepts have formed the foundation for the current doctrine; structure; and employment of aeromedical evacuation assets on the battlefields of today. Aeromedical evacuation operations performed during the Korean and Vietnam Wars were executed in an exceptional manner. The medical personnel; hospital system; medical evacuation; and many other medical functions all contributed to the overall success of medical operations. The overall purpose of this research is to identify and describe the major historical operational factors of US Army rotary wing aeromedical evacuation system in the Korean and Vietnam Wars. The successful operations of US Army rotary wing aeromedical evacuation system in each of these wars permit a historical comparison between them.

A Silver Frame for a Heart of Gold Speech.By Passion for TruthI have studied with some of the finest scholars on Lincoln---Chris Flannery and Mac Owens of the MAHG program at Ashland University; and thus have Lincoln's Second Inaugural in several formats. This edition is exemplary and a must have for every American as are the patriot Jack Levin's earlier editions of The Crossing and Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The carefully (and I might say; lovingly) chosen photographs and illustrations bring background and give a full display of the context in which this speech was made.Lincoln had long abhorred slavery; seeing it as a betrayal of America's founding principles in the Declaration> He appealed to all Americans to recommit themselves to; and revive the heritage and liberty they cherished and see its natural extension.Southern powerbrokers; however; had been influenced by evolutionary theories on race and some German philosophy to repudiate our founding principles of "all men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator" with unalienable rights to life; liberty and the pursuit of happiness in favor of a feudalistic and race-based slave system which Alexander Stephens saw as the "cornerstone" of the Southern lifestyle. Lincoln tried; in many speeches; notably speeches on the horrendous Dred Scott ruling and the repeal of the Missouri Compromise; to bring Americans together on their founding principles expressed in the Declaration.Mr. Levin's choice of title; Malice Toward None; points to the heart of Lincoln and his Second Inaugural address. Sadly; for all Americans; Lincoln was murdered not long after. Had he lived; North and South might have been truly reconciled sooner and many of the problems of Reconstruction might well have been avoided or at least minimized.Mr. Levin has provided a great service to all Americans in this visual age and hereafter by providing the "pictures of silver" frame for the "apples of gold;" of Lincoln's conciliatory Second Inaugural Address. Thank you Jack; and thank you Mark.45 of 47 people found the following review helpful. Enjoyable and informed readBy RichardI especially enjoyed the illustations as well as the authors well informed background given to Lincolns 2nd inaugural address. Mark Levins Preface to the book was especially touching. And have ordered the hard-covered edition as well because I think its that good. Lincoln has always been one of my favorite subjects and this illustrative historical book makes a good addition.50 of 53 people found the following review helpful. Beautiful Book!By JaniceWhat a beautifully written and illustrated book! Thank you; Mr. Levin; for reminding us of what a great president Abraham Lincoln was ... a uniter; not a divider ... a president who sought the healing of the nation; not revenge. The words of Lincoln's second inaugural address are not as well known as his Gettysburg address; but they should be. They reveal the true Abraham Lincoln; a man of strong faith and character. I would recommend everyone have a copy of this book their personal library.
