Navy medicine is one of the finest parts of the Department of Defense. Medical personnel serve on board Navy ships and learn firsthand how naval personnel work, sleep and perform their battle duties. Triage assigns first medical priority to the injured who can be immediately returned to their guns to do battle.
And naval personnel on duty away from home are strengthened by the knowledge that naval medical facilities are available to their dependents.
Excellent health care for the whole family plays a large part in Navy re-enlistments. Navy medicine really helps the whole community. All of us must join forces to keep Congress, or any medical association or any civilian pressure group, from changing Navy medicine from the way the Navy manages it today.
