One year away from being drafted. The war ended and it was as if it never existed. I started my radio show on kcbq 1170 in san diego in aug of o8. I have had a Guadacanal survivor and a bataan death march survivor talk. The public response was great. Our youth should be advised of the deaths and suffering of our military for the sake of freedon. These sacrificed are being forgotten. I want to have a korean veteran who saw the battles and if possible a POW to tell the youth what happened. Please call any time of day or night. Keywords:
