Thread Name: Lyr Req: Poem about WWII sailor pulling survivors
Subject: Poem about WWII sailor pulling survivors
I've wanted to see this poem again for years because I think it would be a good song.

It is about an African-American sailor in WWII whose ship went down and he tied some survivors with a rope and pulled them with his teeth to safety. Anyone ever seen this? I saw it in a junior high textbook.
