If there are any veterans out there who helped liberate Santo Tomas or Los Banos, thank you. My parents met at Santo Tomas and were liberated at Los Banos. 11th Airborne, you are the best! My grandmother, two uncles, an aunt and a cousin were liberated from Santo Tomas. My grandpa was liberated from Bilibid. 1st Cavalry, you are wonderful!
One of my uncles was a sargeant in the 1st Cav. He was one of the "rescuers", and it was his high point of many long and dangerous battles in the S Pacific.
Glad you enjoyed the posting and hope you hear from the vets you want to hear from.
