WWII Army Medical Impressions
Pictures below, are a tribute to Major Larry Shea, founder and leader of WWII Army Medical Impressions Inc. Every year, twenty to thirty friends get together to participate in a week-end of USMD reenactment. Thanks to Larry's knowledge and equipment, spectators can witness volunteers patients journey through a WWII field hospital, from admission to surgery and recovery.
