You'll find the story intriguing in its discoveries, packed with Pappy's own personal original files, long forgotten letters, documents and photographs spanning Pappy's youth into the U.S. Navy, marriage, retirement in Hawaii and move to the Philippine Islands.

His family imprisoned by the Japanese.. . The brass who needed him to accomplish the impossible . And, the enemy who had the upperhand, but not for long !! Thank God - his was a triumphant battle in all three!!!!
