Glad he made it.
Hey,I was in a jeep going out to Khe Sahn,my
Sgt driving,me taking pics and he ran off the
road down a hill into a rice paddy,my M-16 flying
into the water.

Amazing how little the difference between living
and dieing can be in war or anywhere

Ya don't even have to be in a war, you can be run over by a city bus.

My hubby was in the pipeline when the war ended, so he never went, but his driver managed to roll their jeep down a hill at Fort Drum NY during summer camp . . . landed upright and both of them were thrown clear. The jeep wasn't even injured, neither were they.

Took about 25 guys to drag it up out of the woods though.
