Marines burned in Japan face long recovery at Brooke
In Texas Brooke Army Medical Center, severely burned U S Marines from Camp Fuji endure grueling treatment after a gasoline tank exploded during a typhoon at Mt Fuji. Doctors warn the battle may last weeks as victims fight infection and trauma, with some dying but others slowly improving, including teen Rowdy Fullerton and Gus Miller. Stevie Tolbert, seven, inspires the ward as an honorary Leatherneck building strength through therapy.
