Funny story. before we deployed to Iraq my unit stop-over in Shannon Ireland. While wandering around the gift shop my eyes were drawn to a Sterling silver Celtic cross. So I bought it. It was attached to my dog tags before we entered Iraq.
Nothing happened. IEDs would go off under other trucks, but not mine, every time insurgents shot at my truck the rounds did not even come close.
