Walter McKinley Lewis is a Retired Coast Guard Hospital Corpsman Senior Chief Petty Officer. Here his story of escaping the segregated south to becoming platoon leader at Boot Camp and continuing to follow his passion in the Coast Guard, where he was a helicopter SARs medic and “Doc” on the ice cutter, Glacier which travelled to Antarctica three times while stopping at  some of the world’s most amazing ports. There were sports, too: football on the ice at zero degrees, softball in New Zealand, and a thrilling basketball game in Fiji that you have to hear to believe! Walter ranked out in the Coast Guard, retiring after 28 years of service, but his adventures and insatiable zest for life continue.

It is hard to listen to and may be triggering to some, so please be aware of this subject matter.
