My Dad was there, Death March and slave labor in the coal mines for Mitsubishi.

He never bought a Japanese car or truck.

We had steak every Sunday night for dinner.

Article about him if you care to read it.

Had an acquaintance that lobbied for exposure of Dr. Ishi and Unit 741. His dad was a Bataan survivor.

He worked closely with Iris Chang to expose the full depth of Japanese atrocities. Learned quite a bit from him.
