Every morning Quote by Daryl J. Eigen
““everyone called “little potato.” She had such a sweet smile. Every night there would be a brawl between sailors and Marines. It was great fun to run from the shore patrol and hop a speeding “jeepney” decorated with silver bangles that cruised the main drag. One had to be careful to pay and leap off in time; otherwise they often would drive you beyond the town limits where muggers would wait to roll you. On the street we would eat strips of grilled meat, purported to be monkey, that were made by grungy street vendors. Every morning I would drag my sorry ass back to the Quonset hut in time for reveille. After several visits I became braver and ventured off the main street. I ran into some Americans who lived there. I was deeply intrigued with the possibility””
