I enlisted in the Air Corps, and I was doing what I wanted to do to help the country. |
I was just about ready to straighten up and start running when I hear, 'Up,' and I upped. So I was captured. I'm a prisoner of war. |
It was, I'll bet you, 20 below. Nobody had hardly any clothes. ... Somebody had cut the legs off some long underwear, and I made a hat out of it. |
People will say to me I had an experience worth a million dollars. I said, 'Well, they didn't give me a choice. |
We were all so cold and hungry. What was it like? It was hell. |
