COMBAT STORIES FROM World War II

7:00   |   Harry Beeman should have a Purple Heart. His wounds were serious but he didn't want to get sent to a hospital ship, so he hid in the tiny sick bay until he recovered. Now he wishes he had played it straight. He also survived the routine medical care on a US Navy destroyer, some of which rivaled enemy torture.
