Navy Hospital Corpsman 117 Birthday

Peter Hebert, an Algiers, Louisiana native and a former Navy hospital corpsman, speaks at the Navy Hospital Corpsman Birthday cake-cutting ceremony at Marine Corps Support Facility New Orleans, June 17, 2015. The Hospital Corps celebrated their 117th birthday this year. Hospital corpsmen started out as "loblolly boys" on warships, assisting the ship's surgeon with medical procedures.
