Amazing story of survival. To walk around with that lead in his head for decades is astonishing.

I'm not sure how I'd check the truth of the story but it's fascinating.
Woke up after the battle? Wow.
From the link:
Notice how he's wearing a Medal of Honor? It has nothing to do with the hole in his head. Miller was awarded the medal in recognition of his gallantry in the charge of a "volunteer storming party" on 22 May 1863. Pretty inspiring stuff.

More lucky than the thousands who got a shot of whiskey and a rag to bit down on when getting their leg sawed off. War sucks!
