I just came over here to share this with you all...I see the chief is on top of it.

Whenever I feel down about something in my life, or feel like things are hard.....I remember someone like Doc Brown here and then I know nothing is hard. He survived the grueling Bataan Death March at nearly the age of 40....then went on to survive the starvation and torture of Japanese concentration camps for 3 years....only to further endure the damage done to his body and go on to live to the age of 105. We think we have endured harships in our lives, but we dont know.....Doc Brown knew.

Semper Fidelis and God Bless DocClyde

I've traveled on parts of the road that was used for the death march and there are monuments and statues dedicated to the men that went through that unspeakable ordeal. I will take pictures on my next trip.

Words cannot begin to describe what he and the others went through.....

That has to be a haunting experience. War is hell. Never a truer statment
