The Other Side of Nam - Ike Travis

War is hell is an understatement! Kenny knew something was wrong as his best friend tripped a wire. For a couple of seconds, they just stared at each other. It was as if his friend was saying good-by. Even though it was only seconds it lasted so long! Then came the explosion! His friend put his back against the mortar on the tree and took the entire load! Kenney flew back about 10 feet and thought he was dying as he was covered in so much blood and body parts. As it turned out it was his friend who just saved his life! Kenney went into a state of shock and was flown out to a Field Hospital for observation. After one week he was sent back into combat! A letter from Mom stated that my Aunt was worried Kenney was losing his will to live! When I heard this, I knew that I had to get Kenney out of the fighting for a week to rest up and give him a reason to live again! To do this, I will need to make up Fake Orders as I have done before but nothing to this extreme!
