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.

And when they moved to North Africa to face Rommel and the desert rats, they had another boatload of Spam to throw at them. He got shot and they sent him home and made him a ninety day wonder.

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