Historical record from James Callow Folklore Archive.
THIS POLISH FELLOW FROM HAMTRAMCK DECIDED THAT HE WANTED
TO JOIN THE MARINES. IN ORDER TO PREPARE HIMSELF, HE
THOUGHT HE WOULD TAKE UP KORADI, AND ACTUALLY STUDIED
THE ART FOR FIVE OR SIX YEARS. FINALLY, HE WAS READY
AND JOINED THE MARINES. THE FIRST TIME HE SALUTED, HE
KILLED HIMSELF.
Submitter comment:
I FIRST HEARD THIS STORY FROM A WOMAN I WORK WITH.
SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, I HEARD IT AGAIN FROM ONE OF MY
FELLOW CLASSMATES AT SCHOOL.
