Kelly’s Corner 152 - Al Oliveira, Soldier
Jan Kelly writes a weekly column for Provincetown Magazine. "You're a young untested soldier and you have to face your baptism of fire. You don't think you're going to die. Some people call it hopeless optimism. If you don't have that, you're in rough shape. You could get careless. It's a strange phenomenon. You see friends die and you think 'He was a hell of a lot better soldier than I, why him?' It's fate, destiny, terribly difficult to figure out."
