We were a prime target and within range of a nuke strike.We had practice drills at school and went into the hallway.Fetal position, head to the wall and our hands around the back of our necks.During one of these daily exercises, an ambulance went by with it's sirens blaring.Being a good catholic boy, I removed my hand from the back of my neck and made the sign of the cross and prayed for the safety of the person in the ambulance, as I was taught to do.The Sister supervising the drill poked me with her pointing stick and told me to keep my hands on my neck.The irony of that moment has never left me.</blockquote>
