Darth,
I figured you would get a kick out of this. So apparently I got what I said earlier about the Bataan Death March mixed up with a family member of mine. My great aunts father was actually on the USS Indianapolis and was 1 of the 317 survivors. He passed away in 2009. Another vet from my dads hometown, its a super small town, was a survivor of the Bataan Death March and POW for 3 1/2 years after it. He is the one who hated MacArthur and cursed him to damnation haha. Crazy to think 2 guys from such a small town were survivors of such historical military events. Mr Dugas passed away in 2002. My grandparents were friends with both, though I do not know if they ever got any stories. Boy I would have loved to have been a little bit younger and heard what it was like. Unreal their ordeals.
