Thread: My Uncle "One of my Heroes"

The man on the right with the ball cap is my Uncle Warren Robertson a former POW and part of the Bataan Death March. So good to see the local media recognize our Heroes that are still alive.

Amen brother! I continue to be amazed at the number of people who don't remember to honer this generation of American Heroes!

Thanks for posting, Meller - My father, also of the same generation - died in 1995. We all know he was in the Navy and server in WWI, and Korea but never realized the extent of his sacrifice until going through an old foot locker in his shop that had all of his service records adn a ton of decorations.

Honor these men and women - when they're gone we will have lost a true national treasure!
