Corregidor surrenders this day.

We're the Battling Bastards of Bataan,
No Mama, No Papa, No Uncle Sam,
No aunts, no uncles, no cousins, no nieces,
No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces,
And nobody gives a damn!
Frank Hewlett, 1942

My junior high math and home room teacher was on Corregidor. Spent his war years on a pow camp in Manchuria

Here’s to you Bruce Mulholland

My father, a 20 yr. old Sergeant with the 60th Coastal AA Battery B served Battery Cheney, Topside, Corregidor. He was “Guest of The Emporer” No. 428 at Hoten Camp, Mukden Manchuria.

Thanks for sharing. God Bless our WWII armed forces...those who came home, and those who gave the “last full measure of devotion” for our beloved country.

One of my old bosses was POW who survived Bataan & prison until wars end. He firmly believed that the only reason he survived was that he and his group held prayer sessions every night after lights out and entrusted their life to the lord.

I heard that most of the Bataan POW’s were from New Mexico.

They do not teach history earlier than the MLK days, as far as I can tell. Maybe a touch about those horrible Confederates.
