Show ALBERTO GUZMAN February 10, 2006 They had me "missing in action" out there a couple of times and they finally found me. One time, I got lost and I don't even know where I was. I got that emissionary [amnesia] in your brain. J AS: You got what? ALB: You lose your mind, you don't even know who the hell you are, what's your name. JAS: Oh, amnesia! ALB: Amnesia. And they still don't find out what happened to me ther~. And they told me, they says: "Are you a prisoner of war?" And I said, "No! Not that I remember, anyway." They asked me if I remembered where I was or what happened and I said, "No. I don't remember nothing." I was completely blacked-out. And see, in that big combat that we went through in Algiers when my company wiped out, got wiped out. I crawled, I said, about half a mile - almost a mile - to my headquarters, you know, where my company headquarters was. It was set out in the field. And I told them I had a little piece of shrapnel going out of my finger - I forgot exactly where it was- this finger, right there, and then I had my ankle half-way broke and he knew that, you know. I told him, I said, "We just got wiped out." So he says, "Okay." He says, "I'll try to get somebody to take you to the hospital." And I passed out. I just went completely out. I don't even remember going from 27 |
