Opening credits prologue: This is a tale, based on fact, of heroic life and a conflict of loyalties, told in reverence and without bitterness.
Nursing is a dedication to mercy and healing. War is a dedication to brutal force. Neither admits distinction of race or person. Each is the uncompromising foe of the other.
