It amazes me that these men were ever able to get back to some sort of normal and live such long lives. W.F. is a big man but was only skin and bones upon release. He is in a photo that one of major news networks carried several years ago and it is horrific. He always gives God the credit for his survival and is a very kind man.Your post reminded me of him!Paper Dollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10954124673776935513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038740873704764097.post-13503712294701953812010-11-11T20:29:15.055-06:002010-11-11T20:29:15.055-06:00Hayley, you touched my heart strings with this pos...Hayley, you touched my heart strings with this post. I could picture every detail in my mind and girl...I'm crying with you. My daddy served in the Phillipines during WWII and I heard may stories of the Bataan Death March. A lovely gentleman who I went to church with had survived it as well. He didn't talk about it a lot other than to say he would never eat a piece of rice again as long as he lived. All these memories flooded my mind while reading. We must never forget those who work so hard at protecting us and our freedom...ever!<br />Debbie<br />P.S. God bless your grandfathers.trash talkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17508579521854913297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2038740873704764097.post-26282708621609749242010-11-11T19:17:05.332-06:002010-11-11T19:17:05.332-06:00I wish I could have been there.
