127. i remember viet nam...
there is a man i met once named "dave reovers," not sure last name spelling is accurate. Any way he went off to viet nam engaged and just before returning home a napom granade misfired in his hand. He looked almost just like this guy. While in hospital here his girl came in and had been shown pictures and all. Dave was in one bed and a guy with same injury in the other. The other guys wife came in and lay her wedding ring on his belly and left.

Dave was expecting the same but his wife came in and kissed him and told him she loved him. After 20 years or more of surgeries he remained drastically altered from original. They have had a really happy life, kids and all, she has never regreted staying with him.

I wish this couple the same heroic love.
