My Sea Stories Jacob R Quimpo

This is the story of the Filipinos who were recruited into the United States Navy in the 1950s as the Korean War was on its height. The loyalty of the Filipino people during the Second World War and the Korean War was proven by their true allegiance, by giving their blood and guts to preserve the freedom and liberty of these two countries. Remember - the Corregidor Island and the Famous Bataan Death March? Hundreds of American Servicemen and Filipinos patriots died and buried in Fort Bonifacio during the Second World War. The people of the Philippines considered these places as a memorial and sacred ground in honor of the men who died to protect these two countries - the Philippines and the United States of America.
