US Army Combat Photographer SP5 Rick Parker. Army Combat Photographers were issued Colt-45 revolvers but I also carried an M16 rifle that I acquired while in the field. I had extra M16 magazines in my backpack and while photographing a fire fight I was shot twice in the back but these two magazines stopped both bullets. (Image Cell-02_1199b).
