My dad did, barely - death march then 4 years in forced labor prison camp.
His story, similar to many others. He never bought a japanese car in his life.
The saddest thing I heard my mother say, was after the communist usurper took power, was that she was glad Dad had died so he didn’t have to see what America had become.
Wow! I met a Bataan survivor. He never really wanted to talk about it.
Thank you for the article.
