If you know of someone who can get me some pics I would be very grateful..
Meantime I will open a few San Miguels and have some lumpia

Maybe I am imagining things but I seem to remember that hotel ..not sure ..that is on base right? Name sounds familiar..

One thing I do remember is standing in the Philippine American WW2 cemetery in Manila and seeing row after row of white crosses neatly laid out over the green grass, shade trees and rolling hills. Each cross had a name and age. These were the combat deaths of WW2 and most that i recalled were in their twenties. It was a very moving scene that you absolutely cannot describe..Its something that I will never forget...
