While entering pictures on my web site of dad stationed at the Panama Canal Zone, I remembered a story he told me when he first enlisted before WW2. The recuitment officer gave him a choice of 2 assignments. One was to be stationed at the Panama Canal, the other was at the Philippine Islands. He said it didn't make a difference to him so a flip of the coin picked the Canal Zone. He could have been a part of the Death March when Japan invaded and I wouldn't be here today.
