Inspired by a ubiquitous piece of graffiti that U.S. servicemen
left behind during World War II, Emmy Award-winning television
journalist Charles Osgood has collected an assortment of classic
stories and comic tales that buoyed the spirits of Americans who
served on land, at sea, and in the air, such as:
"A lieutenant fresh from jumping instructions was seated next to
a sergeant in a parachute regiment during a night time exercise.
The lieutenant looked very pale and frightened, so the sergeant
struck up a conversation. 'Scared, Lieutenant?' he asked. 'No, just
a bit apprehensive, ' the lieutenant replied. 'What's the
difference?' 'Apprehensive means I'm scared with a college
education.'"
