On this date in 1942, General Wainwright surrendered the American forces on Corregidor. Those men (my father among them), and a small number of nurses began their captivity at the hands of the Japanese army.
My respects to the Americans and Filipinos who were The Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor.
Thanks guy.
