    This is my grandfather during the war. He was in the U.S. Army stationed in the Philippines. When the Japanese invaded he and his fellow soldiers didn't want to surrender so he hid in the jungle and help start a guerilla war. My great grand father is a white American living in the Philippines at the time when the Japanese invaded. He was a US army veteran of the Spanish/ American war. The Japanese were murdering all US veterans. Most of my great grandfathers fellow veterans of the Spanish/ American war were captured and murdered by the Japanese. So my great grand father and my grandfather got together and helped the guerilla war campain. Please post your grandfathers WW2 pics also. (Sorry don't know how to resize the pic its too big so I just post link) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/Chaloner/Ramonschildphotos026.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v257/Chaloner/Ramonschildphotos035.jpg

    Admin Edit: I reduced the photos and added them to the page for you. The reason they would not upload directly is that they were too large.

    Dapper looking soldier. You have every reason to be proud of him. Are these post-war photos?

    They were like 1940 pics he was a Captain before the war. When the war ended he was a Major.
