The drop off the cliff was only about 5 or 6 feet but I hit with a
thud and lay momentarily on the ground. My mind was spinning over
what had happened in the past few minutes. I had been shooting
rather wildly in the dark, trying to stop the onslaught coming at
us from the north. Just as I started to get up, someone kicked one
of my feet, I heard a very loud explosion, very close to my ears,
and some dirt splattered on the side of my head. There were a
number of people around me speaking in what to me was completely
unintelligible language. I felt no pain so I guessed that I was
unhurt. I stayed still for a few moments as the people left the
area I was in. I was suddenly alone in a small Korean farmyard that
I had seen a number of times in the past two days. I tried to
collect my thoughts since I needed to develop a plan if I were
going to survive. I was somewhat stunned. My thoughts were a bit
confused. I knew that there were many, many enemy soldiers all
around me. And I knew that they would be trying to kill me. The war
had become quite personal. I was sure that my team of forward air
controllers had all been killed as we were run over by the
apparently thousands of enemy soldiers attacking our front lines.
My mind was now racing and I knew that I had to do something very
soon or I would become a prisoner of war. That was something I had
always told myself would never happen. I had never really been
afraid of being shot. I figured whatever pain came would quickly go
away. But captured? I had read accounts of people who had been
captured, particularly by the North Koreans, and it really wasn't
fun. And then there were those stories of friends who had been
captured and then used for bayonet practice. Stories about the
Bataan Death March in the Philippines just a few years before had
convinced me that being captured, particularly by someone from an
Asian culture, was an invitation to slow torture. I suppose that I
was really not that brave. I quickly decided that if I were to go
down, it would be fighting all the way. I still had my carbine and
still had ammunition. Whatever came next, I would either go out in
a blaze of glory or I would get back to my own troops. But where
did this all start? This book is about a year in the life of a
lieutenant in Korea in 1950-1951. I had been trained as a fighter
pilot and I did indeed fly a number of missions as such. However,
some of the most interesting times came when I was on the ground
and with the infantry. I had been fairly well trained to do that as
well. It doesn't make much difference whether you are a soldier,
sailor, airman or marine, you are sometimes asked to fight and risk
your life for your country. This just happens to be my story as a
lieutenant. The Korean War is in a real sense the forgotten war. It
appears in the memory as a strange interlude sandwiched between
World War II and Viet Nam. For the great majority of Americans who
did not experience the intense cold, the indescribable misery of
the Korean people, north and south, or the horror of the
devastation beyond description, the war remains a blank. We should
remain eternally thankful that we Americans have not experienced
anything like the terrible reality of two great armies moving like
devouring locusts back and forth across our country. Our Civil War
remains the only marker by which we could measure the hopelessness
and suffering of the Korean War. I recall Korea vividly. While I
had been in the Army (West Point) during World War II, this was my
first combat experience. I could certainly put down the various
statistics about the Korean War, and try to impress upon you how
bad it was. This is not a story about statistics, however. I could
tell you about what happened on that awesome very early morning of
25 June 1950 when the North Korean army leaped across the border
between the North and South, with artillery firing and tanks moving
rapidly southward. And some of that is ne
When you are "Behind the Scenes at an Elementary School, there are
rewards from the smiles on the children's faces, to meeting the
everyday challenges that arise, to making sure that the school is a
safe place. The business of running a school takes a lot of hard
work and dedication that is seldom rewarded; instead it's
considered part of the job. We were fortunate to work with a
principal who saw to it that the staff was highly trained. Over the
years we bonded together not only like a family, but a well oiled
machine that could handle any problem large or small. So when a
toxic waste spill caused a full evacuation of the school, we were
ready. When a 400 pounnd pig invaded the grassy area by the
cafeteria, we were ready.When unexplained thing's like doors
opening and closing by themselves, sealed trash bags jumping into
the dumpster, the cafeteria radio turning on by itself and
incessantly changing stations, were we ready?

Did you do wild and crazy things while you were in school? Did you
have friends that could find more ways of getting into trouble than
a barrel of monkeys? Do you remember the first person that you went
steady with in junior high school? How many friends names do you
remember from school? Did you ever get into trouble in class and
the teacher gave you a swat with a paddle after class? If any of
these questions brought back memories then you will love this book!
