Joan Younger - The Return Of The Soldier

This week. The return of the soldier. All right, men, keep down. Watch the landmines. Let's go, boys. Stick with me, Sam. Right behind you, boy. Not the fast lads. Let me go ahead and check. Okay, Bill.

Oh, and Whitney. Oh, Sam. Stay with me. Give us the okay. Let's go. Come on. Okay, I'll be right there.

Earl Johnson, General Manager of the United Press was waiting when... Min John. Which is it, Alan? Thank you. John, the United Press field, we've done a great job in telling the story of this war.

There's another story that hasn't been told. Story of the greatest battle our boys will face. Hear it home? That's right. The story of the wounded in their first home front battle. The battle of facing their families.

That's a tough one, all right. Yes. 90% of our wounded consider the return home the biggest battle of all. Do you want me to... We want you to visit these boys at the Mitchell Field Hospital Base and get us a story.

Find out what they're up against. Sounds like a real assignment. It is. That story ought to help those boys to win the battle of feasting their families. Yes, and maybe show the American people how they can help.

Joan Younger? Yes. I'm Nurse Jane Gray. Oh, I'm glad to know you, Miss Gray. Before you go in, there's some things you must know. Yes, I was going to ask you. Don't stare at the boys, and don't ask them about their wounds.

Oh, I understand. It's all right to be sympathetic. But don't be intense about it. You can't think of what to say, just say how you're doing. Or something like that. Just watch me and you'll be all right.
