Vietnam Vet Lost Love Cases

[fivecats]

I was hoping some UM fans could clarify this for me. I distinctly remember watching a segment where a Vietnam vet was searching for the nurse who helped him recover from being wounded. She even wrote a letter to the man's wife explaining what his injuries were, so she wouldn't be suprised. I do remember a reunion between the vet, his wife, and the nurse.
But I keep thinking there were two different segments with the same type of story. One segment had the vet presenting the nurse with a plaque of some sort while the other one didn't? Am I thinking of just one segment or are there two, based on a similar series of events?

There are two different segments. One was about a Vietnam vet who lost his memory after a being seriously injured in helicopter crash (he made a full recovery). The other story, the one you're referring to, was about the Vietnam vet who lost a leg in the war.

Both stories aired during the 1989-90 season, but they aired several months apart. Both cases were solved soon after they first aired.

Sadly, the amputee died in 1999.
