A soldier who stood on a landmine and was shot in the chest in Afghanistan is convinced a rosary saved his life in exactly the same way as his great-grandfather towards the end of the Second World War.Read further into the story, apparently his great-grandfather had a very similar event happen. Now, granted, some of the details might be a little fuzzy, but if you happen to believe in a higher power, there's something pretty amazing about this story. The timing of the rosary falling off just as he stepped on the mine is spectacularly amazing. Sometimes there's just something happening behind the scenes that we're only dimly aware of...Glenn Hockton, 19, who is now home from a seven-month tour of duty with the Coldstream Guards in Helmand Province, was on patrol when his rosary suddenly fell from his neck.
In any case, it's a pretty interesting story.
That is all.
