I've always been called Lucky Louie. It's no mystery why.

People say, on the raft, you must have hallucinated. Baloney. We were sharper after 47 days than the day we started because our minds were empty of all the war and contamination; we had clean minds to fill with good thoughts. Every day we'd exercise our minds.

Even at my age, I'm trying to improve. Never give up, no matter what. Even if you get last place - finish.

I've always been called Lucky Louie. It's no mystery why.

I was raised to face any challenge.

Every soldier should learn survival on land, sea, and in the air.

If you can take it, you can make it.
