We were headed for The Battle of the Pacific, and there wasn't one of us who wasn't really scared. But a week later they dropped The Bomb on Japan, and we never did see any action, outside of Rowena's place. We were glad our lives were spared, but the thought of those who went before us, especially those who didn't come back, haunts me to this day

We were heading for the Battle of the Pacific
00:00:02.868 --> 00:00:05.871
and there wasn't one of us who wasn't really scared
00:00:06.071 --> 00:00:08.997
But suddenly they dropped the bomb on Hiroshima
00:00:08.207 --> 00:00:11.443
and six days later the war was over
00:00:11.643 --> 00:00:13.979
So when you get down to it the only action we ever really saw
00:00:14.179 --> 00:00:16.281
was up in Rowena's place
00:00:16.481 --> 00:00:19.351
Sure we were glad our lives were spared
00:00:19.551 --> 00:00:20.319
but the guys who came before us
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:22.821
the ones who didn't make it back home
00:00:23.001 --> 00:00:25.324
haunted me for the rest of my life
