Well, today I read an obituary I meant to cut out..a man I think named Jimmy Green (I have about a 12 second retention of various facts)..who served in WWII. I think he was born in Arkansas and he served on a destroyer..can't remember the name.

I remember one powerful poem that I always thought could be a song about an African American..perhaps a cook..on a ship..the ship went down and he towed the survivors with a rope..and he never gave up. I read this in a special education classroom textbook and have looked for it but never found the poem again.

Also in Pearl Harbor...I think there was a bit exhibit about a cook who did some heroics...sorry..I scramble stuff so badly..but that was the jist of it...
