Default I Salute everyone of Grandpa's Friends Listed here

Stanford, Orville R,1lt,O&2031870,QMC,CA

Captured at Battann, Surived the death march, Torpedoed in route to
Japan, Recaptured by fishermen, Tortured at Shinagawa, sabatoged Jap
Mfg equipment he was force to set-up. Returned to Tokyo for the WCT's
and made sure the Japs who tortured so many ended up on the end of a
rope.

Here are the men who were made into slaves, some be-headed, many
starved, Since Grandpa was the ranking officer and news was out he was
captive thanks to a OZ ham radio operator they only broke both his legs
with 4' Cast Iron fire thongs.

I'm proud of him.
