Lucky Louie was a WWII B24 Bombardier, who crashed at sea on a
rescue mission.  He and 2 crewmembers survived on a life raft for
47 days, only to be rescued by the Japanese.  He then spent over
2 years as POW.  Louie ran in the 1936 Olympics, along with Jesse
Owens, and met Hitler in Berlin.  At 94 years of age, Louie is a true
patriot and hero.  Read his book, "Devil at my heels".
