Thanksgiving is ahead of us and Veterans day just behind us. I am especially blessed to have so many veterans in my life. Words cannot express how much they each mean to me. This year I am tackling a big project to honor a special veteran... my grandfather. For the next several months I am going to scan, photograph, research, and document every minute, hour, day and month my grandfather spent as a Prisoner of War (POW) in the Bataan Death March.
I am not sure what the best way to chronicle so much information is. If anyone has an idea please let me know. I have photo's, letters, and documents that are already fading from age. I am scanning them myself. Nervous about turning them over to a service that they might not be handled carefully.

| 3 form letter/post cards that the Japanese Imperial Army provided to my grandfather to send to his family during his imprisonment. I am told the postcards are a bit rare as many were never sent. More to come as I keep working on this a little every day. |
