This reminds me of a friend who was in the Navy in WWII--almost took a piece of shrapnel to the heart--but his pocket Bible stopped it. He became an Anglican priest after the war.
My prayers are going up daily for the men who will be in this big fight for Fallujah. May the guardian angels watch over each and every one of them the way they watched over the fellow in this story.

The mailman who attended my church (during my childhood) got a LOT
more observant after he survived a horrendous crash of his mail scooter with a car.
But this applies for military and civilians: as C.S. Lewis said, "we are in enemy territory".
So when I meet someone who "gets right with G-d" after these sorts of trauma,
I don't question their change of heart.
