I couldn't find the feature piece that the Sun-Times did sometime after 9/11, I though I posted it here. I'll keep looking. Oh, Motts had at least one other rare distinction: He was a Cook County Republican officeholder. Pat Tillman, Motts Tonelli: American Heroes!

[Mean Daddy]

My father worked with a gentleman who survived the death march. He rarely spoke of it, and when he did, he only told fellow veterans. I can recall my father relating stories about men marching and literally being made to soil themselves as they walked. The ones that fell were bayonnetted to death etc. Til the day he died, he staunchly refused to purchase anything from Japan.
