Dr. Graffagnino was a physician who enlisted in the U.S. Army and won a Silver Star and a Presidential Unit Citation for staying with wounded men when under enemy fire. Not abandoning the men, he became a prisoner of war. He endured a grueling hundred-mile march through the snow and ice of Northern Poland after being released from a German POW camp. After his rescue, he experienced extreme Post-Traumatic Stress disorder.In an amazing piece of literature-found among the author's papers by family members years after his death in 1984-this astute and articulate physician describes his descent into what he calls a "break with reality." His mental status deteriorated to insanity. However, on his return to America, Dr. Graff entered a Texas hospital and was eventually cured. His recovery was so complete that his physician colleagues saw him as a revered leader and mentor, never suspecting the toll that war had once placed on his health.
