#317 Johnnie Clark - Surviving One of the Deadliest Jobs During the Vietnam War
"As he goes to lean forward and chamber around, he said, I was frozen in place. He said, I could not move front, back, sideways. He said, I couldn't do anything. And he said, but Johnny, I felt at total peace. I wasn't scared. I knew this guy was going to put 30 rounds through my temple. I wasn't scared. I couldn't do anything about it. And for some reason, I had absolute peace."
Johnny Clark recounts Medal of Honor recipient Mitchell Page's firsthand account of being supernaturally frozen in place during the Battle of Guadalcanal, preventing him from leaning forward into incoming fire that would have killed him. Page claimed that after the Japanese soldier emptied his weapon, he was released and able to chamber his own weapon and return fire. Page later found his Bible had fallen open to Proverbs 3:5 about trusting in the Lord, which Page interpreted as divine intervention explaining his survival.
