I was on a bulldozer so it was a rough ride. I got a couple of RPG fragments between the flack jacket and helmet with a wound the size of a pimple, a kerry purple heart for sure. On guard duty I could set down in the back of the motor pool and doze off for about a second. My head would drop and the helmet drop would startle me with enough adrenalin to make the rest of the guard mount.

Glad your wounds weren’t serious. Sounds like you deserved the Purple Heart more than Kerry did. Welcome home Bro.
