The four veterans killed when a freight train barreled into the parade float they were riding on were decorated military men who served on the front lines multiple times in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They survived gunshots, explosions and grenade attacks that left some with brain injuries that slurred their speech and made it difficult to walk.
One had a wife back home battling cancer while he fought through a brain injury in Iraq after an improved explosive device hit his truck.
If this thing had open sides why did'nt they jump off.I'm nothing like a hero,but I know damn well I'd have seen a train coming.Being back in the states is no reason to let one's guard down.Nor is Jack and Coke.

ReplyDeleteThese were wounded warriors maybe they couldn't jump or maybe they were trying to help others off the train before they got hit. I know at least one of the guys saved his wife and in doing so lost his own life.
Don't be so quick to judge.
