A Veterans Day story of rescue and reunion

Urban Miyares was stuffed into a body bag in Vietnam and lived to tell about it.

snip...

Two days later he woke up in a military hospital. One of his 9th Infantry platoon colleagues checked on him and broke the news: An Army medic had pulled him out of a body bag.

1. That's a fantastic story.

What are the odds of that soldier meeting the medic who saved his life again?

2. good story but it was pretty scary too

Imagine being assumed dead, and put in a body bag. He was damned lucky to be found.

3. You wonder how many "dead"....

guys could have been saved.

Yet another reason to hate war.

This country makes too damn many veterans!

4. too many lives have been destroyed. It's sickening. nt
