Who's bomb is that anyway?

On a refueling mission during Desert Storm I was riding along with a fellow soldier in our refueling truck. We were passing by a bombed out airfield, there were unexploded munitions laying all over the ground. About that time I looked down in front of the truck, before I could say anything, my driver drove right over an unexploded shell. I said "lookout you are driving over a artillery shell". He calmly stated " Don't worry, it's one of ours".

This would be funny if it wasn't so terrifying. Congrats on being published in RD--not the easiest market.

I so have to share this with my hubby he will find it humorous. Congrats on the publishing I've often thought of writing in with some of the stories Dave's had! Glad you made it through it.
