Swimmer,
Charley Oda.
During the late summer of 1944, at the height of WWII,
the Tri-Theatre Allied Games were held in Rome, Italy.
The games were organized for Allied athletes from the European
& Mediterranean Armies in an athletic competition that included
Track & Field, Swimming & Diving, and Team Sports.
At those games, Pfc. Charles Oda (Charlie) participated
in the Swimming & Diving competition for the Mediterranean
Theatre of Operations (MTO) team.

- To all the Men and Women that served! A salute, in
appreciation of your service!
Duty, Honor, Country:
Those three hallowed words reverently dictate what you ought
to be, what you can be, what you will be. They are your rallying
point to build courage when courage seems to fail, to regain
faith when there seems to be little cause for faith, to create
hope when hope becomes forlorn. General MacArthur.

This
is a great article
about swimming in the Adver
tiser. Skippa Diaz. "It's
a lifelong activity, and it relaxes the body and mind,"
Diaz said. Diaz also said the training and values he learned
as a youth swimmer helped him greatly in football. "It gives
you big-time strength," Diaz said. "It's very demanding,
with practices in the morning and afternoon - a double-whammy.
But it gave me that work ethic, the belief that if you want to
be good in anything, you gotta put in the time."

- The
Story of the butterfly
- A man found a cocoon of a butterfly.
- One day a small opening appeared.
- He sat and watched the butterfly for several hours as it
struggled to squeeze its body through the tiny hole.
- Then it stopped, as if it couldn't go further.....
