Capt. Richard Small, MD, volunteered for service in Vietnam from 1968 through 1970. Dr. Small was the General Medical Doctor for the 3rd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division. He later became the Battalion Surgeon in the 1st of the 505. Dr. Small made many trips to visit the local villages and provide lifesaving medical services. The 5 year old little girl that he talks about in this part 1 of his video, needed lifesaving heart surgery and he and an Air Force Surgeon performed the surgery and did save the little girl’s life.
We feel that Dr. Richard Small is a true hero and the Voice of the Vet is honored to produce his videos and we consider him a real and true friend. Thanks “Doc” for being YOU!
