Yep! Great story.

I personally knew Bill Nellist. He was a Alamo Scout, an elite group who infiltrated Japanese lines and freed some of the Death March survivors. Bill died a few years ago. He was a duck hunter and shared a little with me over the years. I went to school with his son.

We had 2 guys from my hometown in NM in the march.

Neither would talk about it.

Pretty sad narrative that some bikini clad tramp generates more attention around here on accident than this. Priorities. I guess reading takes some level of cognitive skill.
