"Sharks Chase Local Man and 'Sabu' Two Miles to Shore!" News Paper Story abt 1945

A two-mile swim to shore with a school of sharks tagging along was a recent experience of Sgt. Leroy Kanada of Wenatchee, and a companion, members of the 13th army air force in the Far East, according to an Associated Press story released today.

Kanada's companion was none other than Sabu, the former "elephant boy" of the movies, now Sgt. Sabu Dastagir of the AAF. The AP story was written by Fred Hampson, war correspondent with the 13th army air force. It follows:

THIRTEENTH ARMY AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS, Far East (AP)- Sabu is a ball turret gunner now.

The former "Elephant Boy" of the movies- Sgt. Sabu Dastagir- mans a set of twin-fifty caliber guns in one of the 13th army air force's Liberators attached to the famous Lone Ranger bomber groups.

He has piled up about 30 missions all the way from Borneo to the Philippines.

The young Hindu whose nimble antics and flashing-smile made him a screen favorite, is popular with his pals in the Lone Ranger outfit. On his cot in a tent, the floor of which is coral, his gear piled all about him, you would never dream that he still holds a fat contract with a Hollywood studio.

Oddly, Sabu has had his closest call during off-duty boating. "It was worse than the flak over Balikpapan," he said.

Sabu and fellow gunners Sgt. Leroy Kanada, Wenatchee, Wash., and S/Sgt. George S. Swing, Glendale, Calif., built a sail boat out of an old belly tank recently.

Sabu and Kanada were carried two miles to sea on the maiden voyage. They attracted a school of sharks just at the time a wave swamped the boat. They swam ashore with the sharks, more curious than hungry, tagging after them.

Sabu is credited with one "smoker." During a Borneo raid, he got one burst into a Zero. It was smoking when it disappeared in a cloud.

Where Are The Buffaloo "GONE"

A Person Letter We Got From Actor Patrick Gorman how AWESOME IS THAT!!!

Tonie & G.D.,

Mountain rendezvous sounds just right to me. When I was a boy I spent every summer in the mountains in a log cabin. Spent a lot of time in tents too. I apologize for taking so long to respond. It’s a pleasure to make your acquaintance here in this virtual world of Facebook. I take it you’ve contacted me because of my work in GETTYSBURG and GODS & GENERALS and I truly thank you for your support.

Here’s a proposition. I’ve been asking all the GETTYSBURG and GODS & GENERALS fans to go on-line and ‘click on’ those films, AND me in the cast. Although THE LAST FULL MEASURE is unlikely to come to the screen, we still want more Civil War films, right?

There is a ‘BAND OF BROTHERS’ version of the Civil War in development on HBO (TO APPOMATTOX) and Spielberg’s LINCOLN is also in development.

Yes, if you click on my name on the IMDb you also boost my rating as an actor – blatant self-promotion, yes! BUT it serves us both because we all want more Civil War films. Ratings are considered by the powers-that-be.

HERE’S HOW YOU DO IT:
Go on-line and log on to www.imdb.com.
At the top in SEARCH, type my name, 'Patrick Gorman' then hit GO.
The ‘Patrick Gorman’ listing will pop up.
Under my pictures is a choice of clicking on my name or ‘GETTYSBURG'.
Click on GETTYSBURG.
The film site comes up.
Scroll down ‘cast.’
Find ‘Patrick Gorman’ and click.
My site pops up again.
The same works for GODS & GENERALS.
Do this as often as you want. The ratings change weekly so it’s on-going.

I thank you in advance.
Stay healthy and stay in touch.
Patrick Gorman

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I Will Forever Say Thank You To Anyone in Uniform

A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.' That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it

Thank You
It Has Been An Honor To Shake Your Hand!!!!!

If You Worry

If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice.'

No Greater Honor

I've carried children within my body. Slept with babies on my chest. I've kissed boo boos and mended broken hearts. I've been puked on, peed on, and spent sleepless nights in the rocking chair. But I wouldn't have it any other way. My body isn't magazine perfect, but when I look in the mirror I see a MOM, and there is no greater honor... or blessing!!
Thank You Jeremy, Stephanie, Amanda and all the Foster Children in my care!

In light of the tragedy in Tucson

To everyone who is calling for stricter gun laws in light of the tragedy in Tucson, may I offer this little tidbit: If guns kill people, then pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons make people fat. Remember: Hold the person accountable for their actions, not the means they chose to utilize!!!

INDIAN PROPHECIE

Holiday Tip #37

A Sioux Prayer

Translated by Chief Yellow Lark - 1887
Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds
Whose breath gives life to the world, hear me
I come to you as one of your many children
...I am small and weak
I need your strength and wisdom

May I walk in beauty
Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made
And my ears sharp to your voice.
Make me wise so that I may know the things you have taught your children.

The lessons you have written in every leaf and rock
Make me strong!
Not to be superior to my brothers, but to fight my greatest enemy, myself

Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes,
So that when life fades as the fading sunset,
May my spirit come to you without shame.See More
