I just read it- great story. When I was a kid, my Dad would not allow a can of Spam in the house. My Grandmother would cook some- but not in our house. He was National Guard in 1941 and one of the first to deply in 1942- to an island in the South Atlantic to build an airbase. They landed tractors and trucks on an island with 17 British citizens and a boat load of Spam. They survived by dropping grenades in a bay for fish and hunting for sea turtle eggs.

When he came home, he told Mom he'd have to restrin himself if he ever saw a can of it agian.
