For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while interned as a prisoner of war of the enemy Japanese in the city of Makassar, Celebes, Netherlands East Indies, in April 1942. Acting instantly on behalf of a naval officer who was subjected to a vicious clubbing by a frenzied Japanese guard venting his insane wrath upon the helpless prisoner, Comdr. (then Lt.) Antrim boldly intervened, attempting to quiet the guard and finally persuading him to discuss the charges against the officer. With the entire Japanese force assembled and making extraordinary preparations for the threatened beating, and with the tension heightened by 2,700 Allied prisoners rapidly closing in, Comdr. Antrim courageously appealed to the fanatic enemy, risking his own life in a desperate effort to mitigate the punishment. When the other had been beaten unconscious by 15 blows of a hawser and was repeatedly kicked by 3 soldiers to a point beyond which he could not survive, Comdr. Antrim gallantly stepped forward and indicated to the perplexed guards that he would take the remainder of the punishment, throwing the Japanese completely off balance in their amazement and eliciting a roar of acclaim from the suddenly inspired Allied prisoners. By his fearless leadership and valiant concern for the welfare of another, he not only saved the life of a fellow officer and stunned the Japanese into sparing his own life but also brought about a new respect for American officers and men and a great improvement in camp living conditions. His heroic conduct throughout reflects the highest credit upon Comdr. Antrim and the U.S. Naval Service.

We missed Johnny Dollar, because we were listening to the end of the Saints game.

We’ve been here since. It’s been an intense show.

I’m sitting here crying over the Phillip Nolan story. It makes me think of how so many people nowadays don’t know how good America is. It really makes me sad, but it does remind us what a marvelous nation we have. It’s hanging by the brink.

God bless America.

Happy Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if I will be able to post the thread for the 26th show; but I'll try.

We heard it, and we’ll be tuned in!

This is great-hearing Mr. Walker from ‘77!

I’m going to send him a letter of praise and thanks for his legendary career.

That’s okay! Most people are with their families, but there will be the replay on WAMU if anyone can’t tune in live.

Belated evening, Vision. Or morning, as the case may be. I see you survived the Great Windstorm of 2010. LOL I heard it made a mess up there.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Hey. I didn’t see much damage from the storm but it did wake me up; was quite loud.

I heard over 350 houses got damaged up in your neck of the woods. They published photos of several single-engine aircraft that got kicked around by the storm at one of the airports up there. Nose damage, wing damage, some were upside-down. I know that they don't weigh much more than a passenger car, and with their design profile, a good puff of wind can get them a-rockin', but that had to be some pretty sustained wind.

Hey, I keep tabs on what's going on up in my old stomping grounds. I ought to be about two hours due west, exactly thirty days from now. And after the autumn I've had, I'm looking forward to it. That, and some crisp air. We're looking at highs in the 70's all week down here in the nether-regions of swamp country. Thanksgiving turkey just doesn't taste quite the same with the A/C running - I feel like I ought to be grilling steaks in that weather. And God help me, everyone wants to borrow tables and chairs from the church community center to have dinner outside. That's like going outside and hanging Christmas ornaments in your palm tree while you're getting a tan. I'm sorry, but that just ain't right. LOL
