I am thankful for this day. I am thankful for good health.
Today I will go through the day inwardly relaxed and outwardly alert. I will pay more attention to the things outside of me and less attention to the things inside me. I will enjoy my food, the weather, my work, and the people around me. I believe I will be given the strength to meet whatever problems come to me. I will do my tasks one at a time, and not try to cross all my bridges at once. - favorite saying of Sharon |

On June 8, 1969, 1LT SHARON ANN LANE, Army Nurse Corps, was killed
on duty in the Vietnamese Ward 4 of the 312th Evacuation Hospital, Chu
Lai, Republic of Vietnam, during an incoming mortar attack. The name of
Sharon Ann Lane is engraved on the black granite panel 23 W, line 112
of the VIETNAM VETERANS MEMORIAL, THE WALL, in Washington,
D.C., among the more than 58,000 Americans who perished in the Vietnam
War. The Sharon Ann Lane Foundation will honor her memory among the people
of Vietnam by erecting a Medical Clinic near the site of her service.
THE SHARON ANN LANE FOUNDATION CLINIC will become a testament to
Sharon's Nursing dedication to American soldiers, Vietnamese civilians,
and soldiers of South and North Vietnam. Sharon treated all of her patients
with kindness, compassion, dignity, respect and humanity whether American,
Vietnamese civilians, soldiers of South or North Vietnam (NVA), Viet Cong
(VC) or Prisoners of War (PW). |
The cost of the Clinic is 30,000 USD. Will you consider
honoring Sharon Ann Lane, Nurse, Humanitarian and exemplary American
by helping to complete this Clinic in her memory for the villagers of
Tam Hiep commune, Chu Lai, Nui Thanh District, Quang Nam Province, Vietnam?
