Doug Bryant, author of
The Navy Gave Me Shoes, is 94 years old. He's still sharp, and an hour ago, participated in an
iHeart radio interview with Howie Carr.
He said he was on board a ship when World War II ended in the South Pacific. There was no real celebration of "VJ-Day" aboard, as alcohol wasn't permitted on U.S. ships. (Although their torpedoes could be tapped for 190-grain "fuel").
