During the Korean War, Lt. Fred J. Fees, Jr. continued to direct air strikes after he had been shot through the head.
James Ward of La Grange, N.C., enlisted in the Army at 14, served two years, including five months in combat in Korea, and was made a sergeant. Then he was discovered and was discharged for being underage.
U.S. Infantryman Donald Morehouse was shot through the chest while fighting in the Korean War. Still, he walked 35 miles to safety -- and only discovered later that the bullet had gone through his heart.
Pvt. William Parker, a soldier in the U.S. Army fighting in Vietnam, survived after a shot to his head was deflected by the bible he kept underneath his helmet.
Pfc. Billy Campbell of the 101st Airborne Division serving in Vietnam, survived being shot in the chest when the bullet deflected off a spoon he was carrying in his breast pocket.
Wayne Reymar of Alberta, Canada, had two pieces of shrapnel removed from his chest 32 years after he was wounded during the Vietnam War.
Bob Weiland, who lost both legs in 1969 in Vietnam to a land mine while trying to save a fellow soldier, "walked" 2,000 miles from California to the Vietnam Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 1986 -- propelling himself on his padded knuckles. #hardfucks #stayzero #zerofoxtrot
