Quoted from Neuromancer87:Ed? Ed Cheung!?! Let me tell you a little story...
It was November 17, 1965, during the battle of the Ia Drang. Ed was my squad's machine gunner. At 0100 hours we were ordered to cross a dry riverbed on our flank and eliminate a nest of ARVN troops entrenched in a copse of trees on the other side. Suddenly, halfway across the riverbed, AK-47 fire erupted! Several men in our squad immediately went down, including me. I would have been killed except for the pinball board that Ed had given me. I had put it in my right breast pocket and it had stopped the 7.62mm round from piercing my heart. Ed, thankfully having all his tools, was able to repair the board right then and there. Then he stood up and took out 11 enemy troops singlehandedly with only his M60 and a soldering iron. So, son, the next time you say Ed Cheung didn't repair your pinball board correct, remember you're talking about an American hero!
ROFL - Being a Soldier who had to write many an award, that sir, was priceless.
