Forsaken Heroes of the Pacific War:  

  One Man's True Story

 On August 14, 66 years to the day that Japan surrendered to the United States to end World War II, U.S. Army Major Albert Brown died, just shy of his 106th birthday. He was the nation's oldest World War II veteran and the oldest survivor of the notorious Bataan Death March, which killed thousands of Allied prisoners of war                              in the Philippines in 1942.

Authors Kevin Moore and Don Morrow will discuss their recent biography of Major Brown, including excerpts from his journal written during his 3 1/2 years in captivity.
