WOAH. My dad is Bataan Death March Survivor. He just went to a Mukden reunion in Omaha, NE last week. (Mukden was where the POW camp was in China, now Shenyang.) Will be home on Thursday (he's driving). He's 89, will be 90 on the 19th.


Our Captain spoke about the march, to give us a little extra motivation to pick up our spirits because of the longevity of our deployment. We salute your father and all the other military personnel that sadly perished and bravely endured the horrific treatment by the japanese during that march. We bring forth their history as we write our own story, in service to our country and their memory during our deployment to (areas i can not speak of and actions i cannot confirm or deny) in the # fleet area of operations.

My dad wrote a book and I recently converted it to .pdf format. You can download it here if you're interested in reading it.

By the Grace of God

It has grammatical errors but dad wanted to do it 100% on his own, in his words.
