FORT CARSON, Colo. -- When the rocket-propelled grenade came through the windshield of Sgt. 1st Class Marc Dervaes’ Humvee, it knocked him unconscious.

After a few moments, he awoke to see another RPG come through his door and go out the roof, knocking him unconscious again.

He woke for a second time to chaos.

“That’s when I realized my arm was gone,” said Dervaes, a Westchester, Pa. native. “My entire door and windshield was covered in bits and pieces and chunks of this and that. I looked out my driver’s window and saw this guy on the side of the road just spraying us down with a machine gun.”
