"ANGEL OF BATAAN"

there's an obit in today's PG that i think is a
must read. page e-6


Joan Kennedy Schmidt
she was 88. one of the nurses liberated in 1945 from
the camp when a tank crashed thru the prison gate.

their story was told in a book" WE BAND OF ANGELS"
by E.M.Norman 1999.

me, i want to know why few knew of these women.
i know a man that was in the group that liberated that camp.
he has photos and medals and tons of stories but he has NEVER said anything about any women.

i'd ask him but he's in fla. for the winter.

anyway, i think it's a must read obit.
stop and think about her and all the other unsung heros from every war and in everyday life.
