The Medic
#7

A couple of years ago, I was in touch with Richard Bowman who was a Combat Medic in the 704th TD Bn - 4th Armored Division.

He still had his original Medic helmet ...... with a bullet hole in the top!

 

Apparently, he was tending to some wounded GIS when he got hit by a sniper.

Luckily for him the bullet only grazed his skull.

He got a Purple Heart for it and kept his helmet as one would keep a rabbit's foot for luck.

Rest in peace, my friend.
