A well earned medal
1165 Words
In one room, Drusilla was somewhat nervous because she never thought that the surgery she had done in that field would be worth her a medal.
From what she knew, the medal was for her dedication in saving the recruit’s life and also to make up for the previous times she had saved recruits.
Although she did not dislike the idea of getting a medal for saving lives, she knew it was her obligation, so she did not think she deserved it.
But even if she told the lieutenant that she wanted to decline to take the medal, his lieutenant told her that it was a ceremony for propaganda purposes.
It was expected that when it became known that a woman like her had achieved great things, even without starting the war.
More recruits could join, especially nurses and doctors, as many recruits and soldiers required a well-prepared medical team.
All this to be able to guarantee that there will not be a very high withdrawal rate.
Looking in the mirror, she felt a bit uncomfortable wearing a black soldier’s uniform, but she knew it would only be temporary.
Well, after the ceremony, she could put on her beautiful nurse outfit again, which she felt much more comfortable with.
At that moment, the door to the room opened, and Alfons entered the room.
“You look very good, Drusilla, but the high command believes that it is time that you could present yourself for the presentation of your medal.
I also know that this is not the time and you must be nervous, but I would like to give you this letter and invitation.
My fiancee Alina is a fan of your work so she wrote you a letter of admiration and the invitation is from me to invite you to my wedding in a few weeks.
I hope you can come, it will be a family party, although keep it secret that Kaiser Werner will be present. “
Drusilla smiled and took the documents from Alfons hands “You can be sure that I will attend, I have always considered weddings very pleasant events.
Regarding the letter, you can tell Alina that I will write her a reply in the following days as I also have many letters from fans to respond to. “
Alfons nodded and left the room, leaving Drusilla, who took a deep breath so she could put her serious look as she prepared to leave the room.
When she got out, she started walking down the beautiful corridor of the command center and came to the door of the conference room, which she opened.
At that moment, she closed her eyes a little because of the photos that the journalists were taking. She could even see a radio host narrating the event.
Drusilla recovered and walked down the corridor that would take her to the dais where some generals were waiting for her.
On the way to the stage, the radio host approached her “We are close to the heroine doctor of many recruits.
Drusilla, this is Mark from the Human Liberation Army Station.
How does it feel to receive this medal from the highest command of the army? “
Drusilla smiled and spoke into the microphone, “I am very honored to receive this medal, but as a doctor we always have to prioritize saving lives.
This medal is just a reminder that, as doctors, we always have to be prepared to save any life.
I do not enjoy seeing accidents nor do I want people to suffer them, but when they happen and I am in the place, I will not hesitate to go to help.
That is my duty and obligation as a doctor. “
After this, Drusilla walked towards the stage, leaving Mark alone, who continued to narrate everything that happened on the stage.
‘Sergeant Drusilla is walking elegantly but always safely towards the stage. When she reaches the stairs, she climbs them quickly and gracefully.
It is an honor to have been able to speak with a woman like her. According to the information we have, she had a tough childhood, but it is because of that.
That she was always confident of achieving her goals. We even know that it is because of her in the Bretaigne empire, women were allowed to be doctors.
Without a doubt, an example of perseverance for all women, remember that if you also want to be like Drusilla.
You just have to join LAH and be the stars of the moment yourself. ‘
When Drusilla was in front of the generals, she gave a military salute and it was then that a general placed a medal on her uniform.
“Sergeant Drusilla, on behalf of the entire central command, we hope you can continue to do your honorable job of saving lives.
It is a pride to be able to have such a valuable woman among us. Thank you very much for your dedication and work. “
Drusilla, who was feeling pride, held back her tears and smiled at the general, “Thank you very much for this general opportunity and for allowing me not to use weapons.
It means a lot to me just to be able to focus on training future nurses and not wasting time using a rifle.
I think that as a doctor I shouldn’t have to end a person’s life. “
The general patted her on the shoulder and motioned for her to get comfortable so they could take a picture of them.
Drusilla then stood at the designated spot and smiled as they took a few photos of her.
After this, she spoke a bit with the generals and presented their proposals to improve safety in some areas, such as the use of helmets on a mandatory basis.
The generals listened carefully to Drusilla’s recommendations as they were also concerned about those injured in training.
At the end of the ceremony, Drusilla left the conference room and went to her room because she wanted to change her clothes.
Because she had a lot of work to do with her nurses, who had to learn to act like her in an emergency.
Always suppressing their emotions in order to provide the best medical care to the injured.
The generals who had stayed until the end stared at each other.
“We have to establish the security regulations that Sergeant Drusilla proposed in training.
We do not know how many more recruits we will lose in training that should not be so complicated.
Even a sergeant suffered a head injury from a bee. Everything can be corrected by wearing a simple helmet. “
A general sighed, and from his cigarette case took a cigarette, which he lit using a match.
“Starting tomorrow, Sergeant Drusilla and the coaches work together to design safety rules in training.
They should be applied in order to reduce the amount of injuries we have weekly. “
