What is most remarkable, IMHO, about the now 5 surviving Raiders si that two of them, Hite, and Griffin, were POWs..Hite was held by the Japanese for 40 months, in what were absolutly brutal conditions. Griffin was a prisoner of the Germans for 2 years. A vast majority of POWs, especially those of the Japanese, suffered in their later years as a result of the conditions and brutalization. That these two still are alive, after so many years.. is a tribute to their will, strength, and God’s grace.
