What was the saddest moment of your life?

“When we landed in Vietnam. I accidentally left my flak jacket on the plane. The commander pointed me to a pile of used ones. They were all bloodied, torn to shreds, and covered with flies. Then for the first week I was there, all I did was carry the wounded from the hospital to the tarmac, so they could be airlifted out.”
