Anyone who has not read Ghost Soldiers, really should do so. It is heart wrenching but a story of great courage and will give you an idea of what these guys went through. Amazing story.

My prayers for Mr. Wilayto’s family, and good on him for living a long life after such hardship and horror.

I'll second that. Anyone who thinks they have it rough should read this book, one on the Burma railway, the Indianapolis survivors or any other about forced labor or P.O.W. camps. Every time I do I realize what a spoiled brat I really am compared to these people.

An American Hero and a very brave man - his kind is greatly missed today.
