RE: A Quiet Hello from Afar

Hi

I hope this message finds you well.

My name is Dr. Elizabeth Whitmore. I’m of Polish origin but was born and raised in San Diego, California. I currently serve as a combat medic and trauma physician with the United States Navy, and I’ve been stationed at Camp David in Haifa, Israel, for the past several months.

My role involves frontline emergency care, triage, and medical support for U.S. personnel and allied forces during joint humanitarian operations. The work is intense, but it’s also deeply fulfilling. Still, it’s in the quieter moments—between deployments—that I’ve come to appreciate genuine connection beyond the walls of duty.

I know this may be an unusual way to reach out, but something about your name caught my attention. I’ve learned to trust those small instincts, especially when they lead to sincere conversations.

If this message speaks to you in any way, I’d truly enjoy hearing from you. If not, I completely understand and wish you peace and well-being.

Warm regards,
Dr. Elizabeth Whitmore
