Caribou Club
Heroes Remember
Transcript
I was in camp, but I had a leave and the next morning I took
the train up to London, and this is really something. I went
in to London, I went up to London and went into the Caribou
Club and a big bunch of them around there and a bunch just
coming out and I looked behind them there and a little guy
there, my brother. Didn’t even know he was overseas because I
didn’t keep in touch. I couldn’t believe it and they were
just back from Germany two days before, Germany. “What are
you doing here?” “Well, hi Leo, long time no see.” I said,
“Yeah, come on, let’s go.” I won’t tell you where we went,
but you can guess. And we had about four days, man, it was
just great and I didn’t even know he was,
I knew that he joined the militia but I wasn’t sure which,
and here he was just back from, I never.
