Study to track burn outcomes"Come here, Jones, come here!"

An officer yelled to Staff Sgt. Lee Jones as Jones bolted from the burning Humvee. He started running and then dropped to the ground and rolled to try to douse the flames that engulfed his face, hands and legs. His truck had hit a roadside bomb. The three squad members in the truck with him died in the explosion. Jones, of the 82nd Airborne, was soon evacuated to a field hospital and then to Germany. But he was in a coma—the flames had eaten away the skin from nearly half his body—and doctors didn't give him long to live.
