:08:07
Never.
:08:09
Nothing.
:08:14
I never did anything right.
Never.
:08:27
The burn goes from my forehead
down across the cheek.
:08:31
I had three operations in Holland.
It won't get any better, they say.
:08:37
They took skin from my leg
and put it on my face.
:08:41
But my looks are of no importance.
:08:45
They are to others,
but not to me.
:08:48
I don't care
if people stare at me.
:08:51
I'm not the same anymore,
and I never will be.
:08:56
It happened in the Pacific.
:08:59
There was an explosion
and a fire.
:09:03
Many were killed.
My best friend was a ship's cook.
:09:08
He died.
:09:11
The Filipinos couldn't swim.
They died.
:09:20
I didn't die.
:09:28
I don't like to talk about it.
:09:34
I dived for as long as I could,
but finally I had to get some air.
:09:42
That's when I got burned.
:09:49
It's four months ago now.
:09:56
I left four years ago.
