ElRengo · 70-79, M
Rengo means Lame.
The nick was given by 1982, South Atlantic war. Got some metal in my left hip and upper leg.
Next 48 hs are nebulous in my memories, but others say I did some remarcable hard to believe things during that time. And I received a medal for what I barely remember.
I got almost well some months after so no more "rengo" since then.
But a bunch of old veterans still call me that way and other friends also took it as a nickname that last till now.
It was brought up so much years later when I lost the woman that was the love of my life.
As about 40 years erlier I still walk wounded.
But I feel only "one leg" of my own (me) works like it should.
