Interviewer: What was it like to see Canadian sailors?
There was one man on that boat that was there when we went over and that guy, him and I were talking when we went over there. This guy came in and he asked for me and I was sitting right there. He says, “Where’s this guy Bembridge, did he die? ” I said, “No, he never died!” He looked at me and he started crying. When he found out I was him, he started bawling and he really cried, you know. I was only half crying there but he really got going. He said, “Man you guys, what in the hell did they put you through? ” He says to me like that, you know, he says, “When you guys come over here you were in damn good shape, you know, well built guys and muscled up and everything.” I had muscles like this in my gut and he didn’t even know who I was. He said, “ Hell man!”
