These were great raids, of course, but the so-called “Great Raid” of the US Army Rangers in 1945 to free the survivors of the Bataan Death March should be included. That raid was the Rangers’ first real operation and went deep into Japanese territory to the prison camp at Cabanatuan in the Philippines.
Had a neighbor that was on that raid. I tried to get him to tell the story on video tape. He wouldn’t do it. He passed sometime ago. Clearly it impacted his soul - deeply.
