One soldier from Clarksville, Tennessee narrowly escapes a bullet wound.

Army Spc. Patricia Fowler says the Taliban got a lucky shot when a bullet went through her helmet, but amazingly missed her head during a mission in Afghanistan.

The crew chief from Fort Campbell's 101st combat aviation brigade said she survived the shot because of a bracket in the helmet.

Fowler said despite the near miss, she was glad to be doing her job, which was to draw fire away from wounded marines on the ground.
