Rev. Leonard Robinson is a World War II veteran, who participated in the Bataan Death March and was a POW in a Japanese camp for 41 months, with 24 of that as a slave laborer. Leonard's POW number was 331, pictured above. Upon his return home, he participated in research done by a University of Maryland professor, focusing on people who didn't have recurring nightmares and other repercussions following a tragic incident. One Holocaust and 40 war survivors took part. During his time as a prisoner, Leonard said he repeated the 23rd Psalm and tells returning veterans to recite it as well to help them cope. He has shared his story many times, including at Boys State each summer. Rev. Robinson has served as a chaplain for law enforcement agencies and presently for the Natrona County United Veterans' Council.
