From driving over landmines, to driving under overpasses rigged to explode, to being shot at by snipers, Sam joins Hammer Lane Legends to share his dramatic stories of hauling fuel in enemy territory!********************************** DOWNLOAD LANEFINDER APP NOW: https://lnfndr.app/hll********************************** EMAIL US YOUR STORIES: [email protected] Website: www.hammerlanelegends.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/hammerlanelegends Instagram: www.instagram.com/hammerlanelegends
