A horrible way to go, the poor guy. No one on that march had it easy, it was simply horrendous. The Philippino troops suffered even worse, if you can believe that. No one is really sure how many of them died. The Japs reserved a special hatred of what they considered ''fellow Asians'' who supported the Allies.

Yes they did. Having traveled extensively in the Philippines myself, most recently, to Davao City a few months ago, I asked many Filipinos, who said, people of the Philippines, I shall return. They don't hesitate for a second, and say General MacArthur. That is one more reason I am retiring in Davao City. Americans in the Philippines, for the most part, are still well respected. It is no mystery to me, that in Davao City, and probably many places in the Philippines, their Main road is called MacArthur highway.
