Pray to Survive

To me, to survive I prayed a lot. I prayed to God, you know, and I’ll see tomorrow. And I thank God I see the sun coming up in the morning, again I prayed to God I’ll see at night to see that sun come up again. That’s my daily life there. If you don’t pray, if you don’t have any faith, it must be an awful life. It must be cause you know. Dad gave me a Saint Christopher medal and I wore it around my dog tag, I wasn’t supposed to wear that but I wore it anyway and told them you know this was, I believe this was what was going to bring me back, you see. And I still believe that’s what brought me back. Prayers brought me back not the training, not my, my knowledge to survive, you know, in battle, I think. God brought me back, you see, I believe.
