Julio sure looked younger than his 103 years.<br /><br />There's a great website called The Battling Bastards of Bataan you might be interested in. Some very good historical data there plus photos.<br /><br />And I agree with you -- keep alive the memory of Pearl Harbor. I fly my flag every year on Dec. 7 in memory of the men who died in the attack. I wish others would do the same.Mary Welkhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04399857531758579896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352032113259128662.post-22624454859947123872009-05-24T14:50:43.735-05:002009-05-24T14:50:43.735-05:00Lovely memories, Mary. I wonder if the younger generation will pay as much attention to our graves as our parents and grandparents did to those they loved. I also recall my grandmothers lovingly tending graves and planting flowers.Marlis Dayhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12885735384319570313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2352032113259128662.post-30083170438936917072009-05-24T09:07:50.799-05:002009-05-24T09:07:50.799-05:00Remember Pearl Harbor -- Keep America Alert!<br /><br />America's oldest living Medal of Honor recipient, living his 100th year is former enlisted Chief Petty Officer, Aviation Chief Ordnanceman (ACOM), later wartime commissioned Lieutenant John W.
