I have listened repeatedly to the final haunting broadcasts. A young American of 17 was there. He sits almost daily at the USS Alabama moored at Mobile. He is bedecked in military dress uniform and offers the sale of his book—Hells Guest.
It is an excellent evenings read as he relays his eyewitness account of the Japanese storming the PI. Years of suffering and almost daily brutality did not defeat him.
He is a sprightly old gent, eager for you to learn of his story, and of those brutalized and hacked and starved such that few ever could come home, and of a country that abandon them to great peril while claiming that help was over the horizon.
Hope you enjoy it, and learn what danger lurks in international affairs.
Hells Guest Col. Glenn D Frazier
Here is a link to his book:
It is a shame that I did not hear about him sooner. I took the family on a charter fishing trip out of Biloxi over Spring Break. It would have been nice to make the drive to Mobile to meet him.
The history of our lack of preparedness is quickly being rewritten. The socialists have long term plans and democratic citizens have short term memories. One thing that I tried to stress is the great amount of effort they put into distorting history. Once people like Colonel Frazier pass on so to will the correct history of those events.
