LUCKIEST UNLUCKY MAN IN THE WORLD ??


This is a great letter to the editor from American spectator online.

Vietnam era Swift Boats had a crew of 6. Swift boats typically went on
missions in teams of 2 to 6 boats. That means on any specific mission
there were 12 to 36 people involved. On three separate occasions -- one man
and only one man earned a purple heart for being wounded in battle. How
unlucky can one man get? One out of ....pick a number between 12 and 36....
three times. Amazing. However, the one man that was wounded by enemy Fire
three times -- never once went to the hospital...never once lost a day of
duty.. How lucky can one man get? Getting hit by enemy fire three times and
never getting sent to a hospital. Whatta' guy.

Two and a half million people served in Vietnam. Many received purple
hearts. A few received 3 -- and one and only one received 3 without
spending a day in the hospital. One out of 2.5 million.

No doubt about it... he's the luckiest unlucky man in world!
