Soldier survives knife through his head
http://www.cnn.com/2007/HEALTH/11/05/injured.soldier/index.html FORT BRAGG, North Carolina (CNN) -- It takes a few moments to notice the dent in Sgt. Dan Powers' head, a place where he was stabbed with a nine-inch blade while patrolling the streets of the Iraqi capital. During his dozen years in the Army, Powers has witnessed a lot. But what happened to him this summer is nothing short of miraculous. On July 2, Powers, a squad leader in the 118th Military Police Company out of Fort Bragg, and his unit were called to investigate a report of a late afternoon explosion in a Baghdad neighborhood. For the unit, it wasn't anything they hadn't seen before. They were on their second tour of duty in Iraq to train Iraqi police officers. The explosion was minor and Powers walked away from the area to deal with the crowd that had gathered. It was then that Powers felt something hit his head. "I wondered briefly if I had been shot," he says. In reality, Powers had been stabbed in the head. And the nine-inch knife was still stuck into the right side of his cranium.
