Jimmy's
Iraqi Four Flip Humvee
Dear
all,
How
close can one brush with death and literally walk away laughing
hysterically to realize the fraility of man and how as humans we
don't control everything going on even if we have the hottest weapons
and the "craziest" mentality?
But
before i go on anymore, I'm doing okay...
Today
at 8 Am in the Morning, Saturday the 14th of June, we were heading
to the Division hq about three hours away...our humvee (military
jeep) was at a speed of over 60 mph when it breaked suddenly, went
off the road, hit a dirt mound and went flying, flipping at least
three to four times 360 degrees...out of four passengers on board
three got thrown off quite violently including me.
According
to witnesses, I got thrown out the highest, which explains the rough
impact I got on the ground...My helmet, glasses and weapon flew
off...I remember laying on the ground, moving away thinking, "oh
no, someone's going to get crushed to death...i gotta move outta
the way of this flipping vehicle"...i blanked out and next
thing I knew was Marines screaming, "Oh shoot! Is Li dead?!
Is he alive?!" It was a miracle...all of us survive that one
and a quarter ton monster from crushing us...it was a
miracle of God. I mean, how many can say there were on a heavy vehicle
with soft top made out of canvas getting shot out into the air,
rolled about four times, got thrown out and banged about and walked
away laughing about it?
We
all agreeed God was grateful to us today...it was a miracle...
Pray for us about that please...there's an investigation going on
and its messy right now...can't explain everything...pray no one
gets in more trouble...
Pray
for my right wrist (grabbing the door?), lower back, left hip, left
knees, lower left leg and the back of my head...its the only pain
I've got...
SHOULD
HAVE DIED,
SAVED BY CHRIST CRUCIFIED,
HUMBLY,
JIMMY LI
