    My paternal grandfather, Pvt. John B. Redman, U.S. Army Air Forces, 28th Materials Squadron, 20th Air Base Group, died in the Japanese POW camp (#4) O’Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, Philippines on May 24, 1942 of dysentery (and starvation & malnutrition, which could not be officially cited as causes of death per Japanese Headquarters) after taking part in the Bataan Death March. My grandfather is buried in Plot L, Row 5, Grave 66. He received a Purple Heart posthumously. “Greater Love Hath No Man Than This, That A Man Lay Down His Life For His Friends.” John 15:13 🇺🇸💜

    How can we ever forget the bond? My own kid is now serving but my 2 uncles served also in WW II. My one uncle was so sweet. Never really talked about the war but my own father was a teacher never became a soldier but disciplined us like he was the General. I now realize that this war must have made him like a soldier. Only few stories he relate to us. He said prior to WW II there were many Japanese migrants in the Philippines. After Pearl Harbor and Manila bombings they all turned out to be Generals. A lesson to be learned. Such a solemn place to reflect the sacrifices of these young men and women who have no business to be there but to offer their lives for our freedom and the service to their country. We are forever grateful to you All. Rest in Peace.

      My Mama used to tell us stories about WW2, before, during and after the liberation of the Philippines. She said that before the war, there were a lot of Japanese business owners - salons, bakeries, restaurants, etc. - who turned out to be soldiers and, you are right Generals and officials of the Japanese Army. Even their civilian Japanese friends, to their surprise were in the Imperial Army, when war started.
