31. Thank you Bill
for the terrible sacrifices you made for us. My father was also in Bataan. Before the march he was at Camp O'Donnell. There was another prisoner who had just gotten out of dental school. Dad had a cavity that was really hurting, so this newbie dentist melted down a coin and filled his tooth. He still has it to this day! Dentists have marvelled at it all these years.

He's 85 now and very active in the Purple Heart Society along with several other veteran programs.
