OK__OK, U want a story from Vietnam!! I just woke up with the memories of what I done there, so I guess I'll tell you my freind. I hope this story will show you not all of us were cold blooded killers!!!

�� It happen in the jungles of this far away land, we were fighting a small force of V.C.-- We almost had them, when as usual they disappeared, in a tunnel we think-- with 2 dead & 3 wounded we started to the L. Z. I guess we had walked about a mile, when we came upon a V. C. girl, dressed in her black pajamas & carrying a V. C. rifle there was not doubt she was a V. C. soldier. She was kneeling saying words in her tounge which none of us understood-- have lost friends to her kind. Some of the men wanted to kill her on the spot. One soldier ran to her & stabbed her in the chest-- I pulled him off her & protected her (God, was it not obvious she had surrendered) She was a poisoner & we needed her for information.

I never heard her scream as she lay bleeding & still saying these words, over & over. I thought she must be on drugs never showing fear or pain as I carried this small woman out of that jungle having to put my hands over here mouth to silence her for fear of being discovered-- she never stop saying those words, over & over.

After reaching the L. Z. the officers were delighted we had a prisoner. I asked an officer what she was saying-- he knew the language. I always hear people talk of faith in GOD---ok--I never knew there was such faith until then. She lay bleeding & dying, she kept saying-- "Though I walk in the valley of death I fear no evil for God is with me."

So there Kat you have heard something not many people know. There are more but you have to understand I try to forget these times in my life--the night mare I awoke from just now was of her, I see it as if it happen yesterday... Please God, help me...

Other than a spell check and a couple of very minor changes, I did not edit this story, I want to leave it in his very own words.
