A close look shows the bullet's extreme distortion having
slammed into Ronnie's buttocks & the resulting damage
to his left leg is noticeable. This proves my theory
that Ronnie was a hard ass in his youth. . .

Ronnie had barely finished one year of Army Duty before he was seriously wounded on June 19, 1967.  He spent the remainder of his two year hitch  seeking treatment from Saigon to Japan, back to Fort Riley and then to Fitzsimons, and finally with the VA in Kansas City.  His weight dropped to 96lbs during his ordeal, but notice that Ronnie was smiling all the way through. Probably because he knew he had Bonnie's constant love and support. Ronnie, you are one very lucky man!
