MY GRANDFATHER SERVED IN THE U.S. ARMY DURING WWII IN THE PHILIPPINES. HIS UNIT, ALONG WITH MANY OTHERS, WAS CAPTURED BY THE JAPANESE AND MADE TO MARCH THE INFAMOUS BATAAN DEATH MARCH. HE SPENT A LITTLE OVER THREE YEARS IN A POW CAMP UNTIL LIBERATED BY THE BRITISH. HE AND THE MEN WHO SURVIVED ARE TRUE HEROES.
