BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The soldiers were there for a reason.
The logical, rational explanation is that they were there because their tank caught fire and had to be destroyed. So, without a ride, they jumped onto the armored personnel carrier with me.
I prefer to believe it was the hand of God that put them there, one behind me, one to my left. They were there to protect me.
Had they not been there, I most likely would not be now typing this.
Less than 30 minutes after the two soldiers joined me, both were wounded by bullets that could have hit me
...
A few inches more, and it would have been me flying off on those helicopters, my blood staining the stretcher. Instead, I was unscathed, thanks to those two soldiers. I will forever be indebted to them.
Thanks also, I believe, to the hand of God.
Jeebus H. Keerist. I bet the families of these soldiers are going to be thrilled to find out their kids/spouses/parents were the God-appointed personal human shields of journalist Ron Martz.
