HELP YOUTHS JUST SAY NO

Recently, when asked about how I became a medical doctor, I gave the
following response:

"Yes, I served in World War II, U.S. Navy Medical Corps, to repair broken
bodies. Yes, I served in the Korean War, U.S. Army Medical Corps, to repair
broken bodies. Yes, I practiced in civilian practice, a total of 43 years,
to repair broken hearts, bodies and to usher in new life, about 2,000 or so.

So, how does that help today?

Sadly, we are in the midst of a new war -- total complete all-out World War
Ill. It's a war on people's spirits and bodies, reached by a master enemy
who would take away your freedom.

A person with a sick body and spirit has the worst combination, and that's
the aim of the tobacco, alcohol, drugs, violence and porn dealers.

So, today I am back in a war. Joined by an emphysematous WWII vet, who
stopped smoking a few years ago at death's door, we go to schools and shoot
our ammunition, with everything we've got, to help these kids to say NO!
when they are even approached by their "well-meaning friends."

It's wonderful to hear applause as my friend, Charlie, drags his oxygen
tank off the stage and we depart arm-in-arm to make our next enemy
encounter and fire our salvos.
