| Actually I was very lucky that it only hit my wrist... I was blown 30 feet and lost alot of the hearing in my right ear.... And all I did was break a bone in my foot and my pinky finger.... One piece of shrapnel out of 3,000 hit me... Lucky bastard that I am...

| My brother turned down a PH when he was in Viet Nam. In those days a Western Union Telegram was sent to the parents or wife with little or no explination, you didn't know if the soldier was wounded or dead!

| A guy I know got a PH when he rolled over a Land mine. It had been placed there about an hour before he drove by in a HUMVEE. He was pretty lucky that it was uparmoured and that he had on his vest and kevlar otherwise he would not have made it out so well.
