In 1944 a 22-year-old Army medic was answering a battle-field cry for help when fragments of an exploding German shell tore into him. “Geedoc, I feel like both my arms were blown off,“George Lott told his battalion's surgeon as he staggered into a first-aid station near the front in northeastern France. It was the beginning of a painful 5 000 mile journey through three hospitals as the doctor tried to save the medic's life.
After five operations and two and a half years in Army hospitals, Lott, a righty, regained use of his left arm, but his right was painfully paralyzed.“I begged the doctors to cut off my arm,” he recalls. They did.
An orphan since he was two, with a third grade education, Lott has pension and Social Security for the past 40 years. In 1962 he bought a house in Albany, NY, not far from the Adirondack Mountains where he hunts and fishes. He still has the Purple Heart awarded him after he was wounded, although he has had a difficult time keeping it. His girlfriends, explains the bachelor, have wanted to wear it.“Sometimes I still dream about the guys I held in my arms that were dying,”says Lott, “I'm proud that I fought for my country, but I'm still here, drinking beer. The guys who didn't come back are the real heroes.”
