Yee participated in two combat jumps in the Philippines in 1945. The Los Banos Prison raid was one of the most secret airborne operations during the war. The paratrooper force had to jump at a 400 feet altitude, eliminate a Japanese force of 250 guards, evacuate some 2,100 civilian and student internees within 20 minutes. A reconnaissance ground force comprised of U.S. troops and Filipino scouts brought the internees to safety by amphibious vehicles. An enemy force known as the "Tiger Division," comprised of 10,000 men, was several hours away. The raiding force had to accomplish their mission quickly and effectively with this fact in mind. Although thousands of rounds were fired, Yee and his comrades successfully accomplished their mission without any loss of life to the internees or the paratrooper force. Every single Japanese guard at the camp was killed. This incredible life saving mission of the war was overshadowed by the symbolic Marine Corps flag raising on Iwo Jima which occurred the same day.

Sam, as I see it, we need to get these FReeper Foxhole stories submitted to the internet's Search Engines. This is history our kids aren't getting in school. We're looking for a few good men and women to change that. We have an opportunity next month. Send the banner above to your friends and neighbors.
