I saw my great grandmother on her deathbed in the 1974 before she died at the age of 96. Her son, my father's uncle was a Philippine Army Scout and died in a Japanese Prisoner of War camp. My great grandmother was receiving US government compensation money till she died at 96. That money put my father through architectural school and became an architect. Their sacrifice left a legacy. Great video. We are in Canada now.
This memorial is one of the big reasons PH is my only choice of a country to visit, the country has such a heavy connection to the US that no other nation really can compete with, PH and the PH people.
Respect to you, Sir! God bless you & to your whole family! Filipino Nurse....working here in Lahore, Pakistan!
@@alexisruiz4715 No problem, I hope to return there in the very very very near future
Very solemn and respectful presentation. Forever grateful to the greatest American and Filipino generation sacrifices that allowed me to live in freedom!!!
And we must always cherish and protect that freedom!
Many Filipino and American Soldier died in BATAAN DEATH MARCH. Many of them died in hunger and in sickness..
SALUTE TO ALL SOLDIERS WHO NEVER CAME HOME ..!!!
That’s a lot of names on the wall, lots of souls went to heaven, rest easy soldiers
Believe(more than just acknowledging his existence)on Jesus Christ and what he did on the Cross for your sins and you will be saved.
That place is a memory of the dark past of Philippine history but despite of that we’re grateful for all their sacrifices and they will never be forgotten. Thankful to all those fallen heroes🙏
Yes...we must NEVER forget
After this, you guys really need to visit/see Corregidor Island in Manila Bay. They have a remarkable tour and further expands on the Japanese invasion of Manila. So worth it!!
PH also was home to U.S. General Douglas Mc Arthur, and U.S. 34th President Dwight Eisenhower, both lived in Manila for many years being the assigned U.S. Commanders during the American period before WW2.
Cool
You can just imagine most everyone of these young men and women are still in the prime of their lives😥😭😭😥... thanks for featuring this documentary video TY👍👍, really love it, nice one!!!
Bravery and sacrifice at such a young age... I do hope this generation still had that mindset
So touching detailed video… imagine those 17,000 US soldiers fighting for freedom … hope the families will visit the graves of their love ones.. they seem forgotten. They need prayers too that God in heaven will be merciful to them in time of judgement day….
From what we gather, some of the families don't have enough funds to make the trip to Manila
😔
Let's go
Thats a sacred place for me. 🙏
❤
Was there many years ago. I went alone. The place had a very sad and heavy, yet solemn and very peaceful feeling to it. Difficult to put into words.
I know how you feel my friend
Respect to you, Sir! God bless you & your whole family! Filipino Nurse.....working here in Lahore, Pakistan!
Great video.Salute for the fallen heroes.
Now they are resting... Forever immortalized!
The biggest American cemetery outside the US

For History and reminders it would be Bataan which is a boat ride from MOA, where the death march happened bro.

So sad... Their sacrifice will NEVER be forgotten
That reminds us Filipinos of the ultimate sacrifice being once the territory and almost became the 51st state of the United States in the Pacific. Also, a geographical thing is that somehow we are more of a Pacific Islander nation the more belong to the Polynesians of the Pacific than being integrated into South East Asia. The same faith, same colonizers, same culture, same religion, same physic, same names and surnames as our Pacific bros, more than South East Asians. You could see there on the map in that memorial, the massive connections between PH and the Pacific nations in the time of the Americans, and even in the Spanish period.
That's quite insightful. Filipinos do share a lot of similarities with Pacific islanders...
@@OurPhilippinesAdventures They were our relatives. Back in the day when there was no established South East Asian region/zoning, PH was closer to them in people-to-people connection: Polynesian, Tongan, Hawaiian, Guamanian, and Samoan. Even their local dialects have borrowed some Tagalog words. If you go to Hawaii for instance, a huge number of their population originated from the PH, the same goes with Guam, Saipan, and other Micronesia nations.
@@OurPhilippinesAdventures Mainland South East Asia is more of Chinese ethnicity, as you could see in their features like Vietnamese, Thai, Cambodian, Burmese, and Lao. They have land borders up to the southern part going to Malaysia, Singapore, and some parts of Indonesia as well, while the Philippines is directly facing the Pacific without a land border with any of SE Asian nations. Also, PH, Guam, Saipan, and Hawaii were extensions under Spain's colony and diocese including Mexico as one territory, before the American occupation then. The Manila-Acapulco Mexico route trade in the time of the Spaniards was instrumental in bringing these areas closer to each other, name it exchange of people, goods, trade, soldiers, priests, missionaries, etc.
Trivia : They are consist of 7 American Cemetery in d whole world, Phils is the biggest American Cemetery.
I have visited the American Cemetary in Thailand. It could not compare to the American Cemetary in Manila. The one in Thailand was smaller, maybe around 1 hectare of land allocated for the American Cementary. The Cemetary over in Thailand looks neglected with no green grass at all just brown dirt with white crosses.
The Manila American Cemetery is so awe-inspiring and ethereal
There's another one in my hometown in Baguio City up north philippines it is a former US military base called Camp John Hay, with the same patterned line white crosses but its much smaller compared to that in BGC
Good Day! Watch more about the history of the Phillipines,and see how Phillipines is beautiful before the WW2. and you will know how the filipinos fight for a long long time to be an Indefendence Coutry,a lot of filipino sacrifices there lives.and you can find the answer why there is so many invaders liked to own our beloved country the Phillipines. You can feel sadness there..
