how the tales of "I was a one-of-a-kind" super hero


As I read Hans' and Jim's and others' stories of their USN, USCG and Merchant
Marine experiences, one thing that is clear to me is that they do *not* claim
to be "one-of-a-kind" at all. Rather, they are simply relating their
experiences as part of a community. That's why the statue of a single sailor
in Washington DC can express so much.


Absolutely correct. You can empathize after all your years of
experience at sea. Understood.

Tsk. 'Radio' begins and ends solely on the sea? What of LAND
where morse code was born, raised, and elevated to a magnificent
art form before radio was ever proved?
