Another "POETRY OF THE PEOPLE" featured reading by 82-year old WW2 U.S. Navy Pilot KELLY ALCALA who reads the poem "PRAYER FOR MY SON" written by the famous American military figure, GEN. DOUGLAS MACARTHUR.  This is the second poem among Kelly's favorite list.  Kelly flew the navy's dive-bombers in the Pacific Theater, participating in several major battles, including the decisive Battle of Midway where his unit was credited with the sinking of 4 Japanese aircraft carriers.  In subsequent engagements, Kelly was severely wounded and lost a leg and suffered major injuries in his arms - but was fortunate to survive the war.  He now lives with his wife Louise in the city of his birth, Sta. Ana, California.
