Surviving the horrors and unimaginable difficulty of these events involved miracles, an incredible spirit and will to live. Harold is my dad. I grew up listening to his stories and sat at the feet of many of his survivor friends. Included is a brief description of the Bataan Death March, many of the POW experiences, the power of forgiveness and the incredible miracles of faith. Actual video footage of Harold and some of his survivor buddies telling their experiences in their own words brings these incredible stories to life.
