Gen. Berry,
You were so modest that everyone has forgotten you. I had to do some research, but you were truly something special. Here are the facts for my Find A Grave friends:
You were a four-time letterman at the University of Texas from 1912 to 1916. In those days, if you returned to school as a grad student, and you could still cut the mustard, you could play again. So, when you returned to The University of Texas to get your graduate degree in 1924, as a 31 year old, you still earned 1st-team, all-Southwestern Conference honors. In you spare time, away from classes, studying, and football, you also managed to be a two-time South Western Conference heavyweight wrestling champ.
In between your days at The University of Texas, you were in the US Army for WWI. You also fought Soviet troops during the secret American-British expedition to Vladivostok in 1919.
You were stationed in The Philippine Islands when the Japanese attack came. You ended up on Corregador. You survived the Philippine Death March at the age of 48. You survived four years in Japanese prisoner of war camps.
You were one tough bird! Thank you for your service, your athletic talents, your leadership, your courage, and your sacrifice.
