For all the glitz and glamor of this high end, New York establishment, someone had tried awfully hard to make it resemble the flea bitten camp where they'd made their home for three years. As Hawkeye Pierce entered the large ballroom, he passed under a familiar sign: "MASH 4077 - Best Care Anywhere."
The sight stirred up feelings of pride, ones that had been absent too often this past year. He remembered the pain, the blood, the horror of it all. He remembered the failures all too clearly. But that sign sent a different message, one that didn't have to be contradictory.
They'd been good. They'd done good.
There were stories of success alongside the failures. He'd obsessed over one and completely forgotten the other. Maybe learning to live with it all meant remembering that there was both.
