And left a black dot that will be with me forever. I got one of those, 5th grade right on my forearm, still there 35 years later.

I have one in my right calf.
Since it *is* lead, would it qualify as shrapnel?

Me too pencil lead to the left thigh, looks the same as it did then.

Kerrys shrapnel is probably self inflicted to get out of the danger zone.

Have one of those in my finger.....still there after 55 yrs. Do you think I can put in for a purple heart?
