"On one such mission, on July 24, 1968, a shell exploded out of a tree above him, tearing a hole in his left calf and left wrist. He kept fighting even though he couldn't walk, and blood was spurting from both wounds."
if i knew how to properly salute, i would salute this hero!
I thought it was a great story. Willie Davis’ passing brought back memories of those great Dodger teams. Most people said the 1963 version was the best, so I looked up the team and saw one guy who batted 1.000 in 8 games and thought it rather stange that he ended his career like that. I had to find out the rest of the story.
