I saw "The Great Raid" on Saturday. If you haven't heard, "The Great Raid" is about the rescue of World War II Bataan death march survivors from a Prisoner of War (POW) camp near Cabanatuan in the Philippines.
The movie certainly brings a tangible image to the many stories that I've heard and read. That alone is quite valuable, not to mention the observation that most of the recorded history that is taught and published in regards to World War II is about the European front. In refraining from ruining the movie for anyone, I will suggest that people watch the movie, but that they do not take the movie as the whole truth. If you want to discuss the movie with me directly, feel free to contact me.
As an aside, Cristeta Comerford is the newest head chef at the White House. While ABC News (gma.abcnews.com) is touting that she is the first woman head chef, I'm also proud to say that she is Filipina as well, based on an article I found in The Capital Times (www.madison.com/tct/features/stories/index.php?ntid=41766&ntpid=2).

Hi Bobby! I was wondering if this was the movie you were talking about? The movie you suggested that both veteranos and pyc watch together? If so, where could we watch this movie?
