  1. Recently my dad was put in the hospital for heart problems. He had double bypass surgery Wednesday, and I'd like to thank all of you who kept him in mind. After surgery, he was not even in intensive care for a day. He can sit up and speak, and walked 200 feet yesterday. He had his stitches removed today. Once again, thanks.

  2. The exact same thing happened to my father in vietnam. He was in an M 42 duster, an open turreted tank. His platoon of 15 men was ordered to defend a bridge. They were attacked by about 100 NVA troops. The two other men in the turret with him were killed almost instantly, and he had to do their jobs plus his. He leaned over to get some ammo, when an RPG7 round blew into the turret, came between his arm and his body and went out the other side exploding behind. He was blown out of the tank with shrapnel in his neck, and awarded the Purple Heart for bravery. So it could happen.
