"Batan Death March....

The Physician who was there for my pre-enlistment physical was an interesting fellow.

He had about a dozen of us standing there naked just after he checked out a few things.

The episode was surreal from where I stood covering my genitals, sort of, sort of like everyone else was likewise doing.

He made it a point to tell us all about his experience as a Prisoner of War under the Japanese in WW2. He told us a few things about his experience and the Bataan Death March.

He was one of those men.

At the next station of the process, the other much younger Physician made a bit light of what we had just collectively experienced.

The younger Doctor said.." That man tells that exact same story every single day."

I saw nothing light in the matter, and that older doctor made a profound impact on me way back when.

He said that "we Americans, have a duty to recognize horrible enemies, and to deal with them."

I'm sorry to say that I did not pay better attention to that Doctor, and that it has been about 30 years since that day of my physical examination. That Doctor talk was likely the most memorable aspect of the entire experience.

He saw a lot of bad stuff, in his day, it seems. He certainly thought so.

Hi Kathy,

How's things in your area? No word from Robert since the 31st. No word from Jeremy in three or more weeks. Laurie just said to say "Hi". Prayers continuing for all of our brave Soldiers, Marines, Sailors, Airmen (Airwomen), and all others who are in the sandbox working towards bringing freedom and liberty to all.

Tater Days is some kind of spring festival down in the country.

I have no idea what going to Tater Days had to do with a kid getting a pill out of her purse.

[StarCMC]

LOL!! Bet you get all kinds of extra info that you don't really need in your job!
