The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Neal Gillingham. Gillingham joined the Navy after high school. He attended boot camp and medical corps school in Farragut, and was sent to Hawaii for jungle training before deploying to Saipan as a medic for a naval construction battalion.

During Okinawa, he was assigned to a ship in the harbor which was struck by a kamikaze just after he and his Seabee unit went ashore. On the island, Gillingham set up a field hospital in a tent and was stationed there until the war ended. He received a promotion and was recognized as the top medic in his unit.

Gillingham joined the Army Reserves in 1949 and was called into active duty for the Korean War. Fortunately, he was stationed in Europe …
