Close Call with RPG's Friday

[John Bennett]

A friend of mine sent these pictures. His brother had a close call with some Rocket Propelled Grenades last Friday.

Baghdad insurgents sent a couple RPGs to welcome his convoy to the neighborhood. He got a little shrapnel in his knee and a sore *** from the explosions under the Hummer, but nothing else. His gunner got the worst: 5 bullets wounds. Collapsed lung, wrist injury. Pierced kevlar helmet and grazed his skull for 3 inches.

Send our best wishes. We owe these guys more than anyone knows. :bow:

BTW, the pics didn't load? :confused:

Nevermind, they loaded this time! :)

Impressive. Especially impressive, they survived.

Man, I hope that SAW was running the whole time.

Been there, ALMOST had to do that, so DAMM glad that I'm not there now!

Not all Canadians are *******s, and most of us know what is going on....we support what the guys over there are doing, even if we're not allowed to show it.

(Ducking head under the pillow again, to be SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO politically correct....wouldn't want to offend the Liberals)
