“Slow poison…”

If he made it to 94, I’d say so.

He was the professor in the Pepsi archaeology commercial..........

Thanks for that comment extract - note my screen name. My time in the 45th was years after Korea but my stepfather served in the 45th during Korea as one of the called-up WW2 vets. Fortunately for him, he was detailed to training duty at Ft. Polk LA for the duration.

RIP to all vets…

A life well lived.

Every time I try to expand on my coding like Prez Perv insists, I screw it up.

Pepsi would have done better with Mary Ann.

I preferred Susan Oliver on that one Thanksgiving night.

I wrote this for my father almost 40 years ago. There were two versions. One was submitted as part of the UN’s Poems for Peace.

“Old Badly”

My father rarely speaks of it
The hill they called Old Baldy
Nestled in the land of Korea
It comes to me in flat black and white

But for him the ringing of bullets continues
Incoming! he cried for many months after his return
With a ringing in his ears that never goes away
Or the wringing of blood from his clothes
Shed so badly he was forced to burn them
From carrying his best friend’s corpse off the line

He weeps when he speaks of it
His tower of strength crumbles

I do not know these horrors
I have been sheltered all my life
But woe to me to forget his tears

That would have been Jeffrey Hunter. Susan Oliver was in the first 1965 pilot, “The Cage” with Hunter as Captain Pike.

Excellent! Just Excellent 👍👌

OTOH given the current crop of mistrels I feel safer they’re not in the military.

He served Stateside, but nearly died. . Not exactly “Heartbreak Ridge.”
