WWII history has a special place in my heart because my father (with the USAFFE) was a Bataan Death March survivor. Had he died then, I would not have been born. He passed away in 1991 in California. I led him to Christ a decade earlier after he retired and moved to the US.Ton Alcantarahttp://tonpalcantara.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266759247843020769.post-23803939661944922852011-10-28T01:48:56.000-07:002011-10-28T01:48:56.000-07:00Hi, Pastor Ton!

Very solemn place.<br /><br />Did I ever tell you about the former WWII gun battery I worked at while I was going to San Diego State? Remind me to tell you about that someday :).Mark Carterhttp://cartermr.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-266759247843020769.post-51638749681906957202011-10-26T13:21:46.000-07:002011-10-26T13:21:46.000-07:00Very very interesting!Very very interesting!karen doengeshttp://karendoenges.multiply.comnoreply@blogger.com
