Forest Gump meets Lieutenant Daniel Taylor several times during the
course of their lives. One of the litttle known spots that they met
was right here! This cache has a military theme, of course. It is
an Ammo Can....enjoy.
NO NIGHT CACHING
PLEASE!!!!!!
Lieutenant Dan Taylor was born into a family with a proud military
tradition: someone in his family died in every American war. He was
sent to Vietnam during the Vietnam war and assigned to fourth
platoon. While serving in Vietnam, he was paranoid of snipers and
surprise attacks by the Vietcong. His platoon encountered an ambush
and Lt. Dan Taylor called for a Napalm drop. However, during the
skirmish he was hit in the legs, and was certain it was his time to
fulfill his destiny of dying in that war. However, Forrest Gump
came to his aid and carried him to safety before he was killed by
either his injuries or the Napalm drop, despite Lt. Dan Taylor's
objections. He was sent to a field hospital and his legs were
amputated. Forrest Gump is brought to the same hospital and Lt. Dan
Taylor confronts Forrest about saving him and how he must live as a
double amputee. He was eventually discharged due to his new
handicap and ended up in New York City. He spends time in New York,
presumably living off of disability or government programs for
injured veterans. Little did they know that while in New York, they
would meet as Forest "Runs to Lockport" along the old railroad
bed!
