I don’t know Mr. James but I had the privilege to hear Colonel Seeber speak about his time as a POW in Vietnam. Such an amazing story

A salute to Mr. Bollich. Thank you for your service, we are free today because of you. I wish you many more happy years. A shame we don’t have many of these hero’s left. The ones who remain should be cherished
I lost my grandfather who was a WWII vet earlier this year. I loved listening to his stories from the war, though he didn’t talk of them often..

Met him when he spoke to a group of us at FT Polk back around 2005.

Three of my grandkids have a Bataan Death March survivor as a Great Grandfather.
One of them actually was held by him before he passed away (in this decade).

Related to him by marriage.
Read his book years ago. Need to re-read it again.
