Retired Lt. Col. Richard E. French, a former U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, recounts a time in his career when he was wounded during an interview at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev., Aug. 20. His most serious injury was during Vietnam when he was struck by ground fire that split his helmet down the center. He received nine stitches to his head and returned to flying operations the following day. He was awarded the Purple Heart. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. N.B.)
