When you were assigned in the combat zone what special thing did you do, wear, or carry with you for luck?
Did you "believe in" having a lucky charm, picture, bible, or nothing?
I carried a medallion - St. Christopher is the Patron Saint of certain professions and even places, but he is best known as the Patron Saint of travel. St. Christopher is the Patron Saint against sudden death as well

I was with 173rd ABN BDE and wore a ST Michael's Pendant that was given to me by a MOH recipient of the 173rd from Vietnam

I carried a stuffed animal. In Iraq it was my Good Luck Scooby. He always rode in my truck. In Afghanistan it was Lucky The Cow. She always went in my bag.
