Jumpy Upon Return

Interviewer: What do you remember about your homecoming in September of 1951? Yeah, everybody was happy to see me. That's, and I was, well you know a bunch a country boys I did tell them one thing, " Don't you ever touch me from the back" and, and being good pals, one of them went like this on my shoulder and bango, he was on the floor and I know he didn't mean to do that you know. I did tell him, because I was jumpy for about one year after I came back. If somebody touched me from behind, I was swift, was right in there nose. And so he called me outside and I said, "Ok." and I said I'll even let you hit first and he said, "No, no ,no that's ok." But they were, they were pretty cautious after that and but you know slowly, slowly I got back into the last, mainstream of my life again and I enjoyed it.
