There is a veteran of WWII that lives at the beach, who has contracted cancer and is going to die. He still has some time, though. He was in the 454th ordinance...27th bomber group; he was confined as a POW from April 9, 1942 until September 11, 1945; his time in service was 1941-1946. this man is 88 years young. He was in the ARMY AIR FORCE. He was awarded three bronze stars, distinguished service medal, WWII victory Medal, purple heart, American defense service medal with 1 bronze star, American theater service medal, Asiatic pacific service medal with 2 bronze stars, Philippine liberation service medal. He was a survivor of the BATAAN DEATH MARCH. I have a copy of his papers here at my house....this is a legit request.
