Helicopter Emergency Landing in A-Stan
This was a close one..... I guess Kerry is after another Purple Heart.
Trio of senators have emergency helicopter landing in Afghanistan The Associated Press Published: February 21, 2008 WASHINGTON: Helicopters carrying three senior U.S. senators made emergency landings Thursday in the mountains of Afghanistan because of a snowstorm. Sens. John Kerry, Joseph Biden and Chuck Hagel were aboard the aircraft. No one was injured, according a statement from Kerry's office. The senators and their delegation returned to Bagram Air Base in a motor convoy, and have left for Turkey. "After several hours, the senators were evacuated by American troops and returned overland to Bagram Air Base, and left for their next scheduled stop in Ankara, Turkey," the Kerry statement said. "Sen. Kerry thanks the American troops, who were terrific as always and who continue to do an incredible job in Afghanistan." The lawmakers were on a trip this week that included stops in India, Turkey and Pakistan, where they observed the elections earlier this week. Kerry and Biden are Democrats from Massachusetts and Delaware, respectively, and the Republican Hagel is from Nebraska.

on a piece of metal. When our officer saw that I was bleeding and ask what happened, I jokingly said a bullit fragment had hit me when I was in the back of the dump truck, he started the paperwork for my purple heart. I told him the truth before it went to far, and he said if i had kelp my mouth shut, I would have gotten the purple heart. Me and Kerry, we could have gotten a bunch of Purple Hearts, with only losing a drop or two of blood
