To "Dead Horse" ... by the way, in case you didn't know it, combat medics were right up on the front line with a rifle squad. When I was in, a 'rifle squad' was nine men: 8 soldiers with the weapons, and the second to the last man was the medic. And also, in case you didn't know it, the medic wore a cross on his helmet. Early on, this cross became the target, because they knew that if the medic was killed, the combat team would get the hell out of there! ... just for your information! Bob P.S. I actually served with a man, a medic who had won the Congressional Medal of Honor, awarded for bravery in combat. He wouldn't talk about it ... but I know his name.
