The Mighty Ninth

Strive To Reach The Summit

C-141 Starlifter
Got violently ill one night and went into a coma at Qui Nhon.  This beautiful bird evacuated me to the Phillipines.  On the flight, I saw a guy on a stretcher suspended on the next tier up.  When his sheet fell off, I saw that he had lost both legs and left arm.  I was partially paralyzed at the time and didn't know if I was going to live, but I remember thinking how lucky I was compared to him.  I often wonder what happened to this brave soldier.
