Power Line - Mantz on a mission

So what’s it like to die??  A dead man finds his purpose for living.

Mantz on a mission

Watching Fox News this morning, I caught an interview with Army Captain Joshua Mantz (in the photo at left with Secretary Gates). Captain Mantz was patrolling in Bagdhad with the First Infantry Division on April 21, 2007, when he was hit by an armor-piercing bullet that hit and killed Staff Sergeant Marlon Harper. Part of the same bullet that killed Sergeant Harper then exited, hit Captain Mantz and severed Mantz's femoral artery. Captain Mantz bled out and went into a flatline condition for 15 minutes.
