Ah....but you had on your Army Issue Olive Drab Green Tee Shirt and underwear issued In those days that were bullet proof....right!

My foot was on that left pedal when the .51 Cal round passed through severing the hydraulic lines and igniting a fluid fueled fire. Another inch and I would be called "Peggie" for the wooden leg the Army would have issued me. Instead I am just plain "Lucky"!

Or so we were told anyways!
