I love these stories of courage, bravery and love of country. It's so sad that there courses taught in college about gender studies, DIE but not on Medal of Honor recipients! How much more value to us all would be course that teach of love of country, the cost of our freedom. How good and great our country is because of those who fought for our freedoms! Thanks again Tara!
I find it heart warming that Willibald Bianchi was such a strong yet benevolent man. His actions as an officer and warrior earned the MOH and his benevolence as a captive kept others safe and alive. He sadly finally gave his life as a prisoner of war to friendly fire.
God bless you Mr Bianchi and may God continue to bless all of the Greatest Generation and all who serve or have served this great nation. Thank you Tara.
Thank you Tara. The prison ships were call Hell Ships. There is a memorial in Subic Bay (Olongapo) that talks about how brutal the conditions were on board. I have driven the route of the Bataan Death March in April and the heat and humidity is overpowering, without imagining the starvation and vicious brutality subjected by the Japanese soldiers. Everyone should watch a movie titled The Great Raid, which is about freeing prisoners from a POW camp in the Philippines, that were to be executed to hide the war crimes. The museum at the tip of Bataan is fantastic. Thank you Tara.
This one brought tears to my eyes. Captain Bianchi definitely deserved his Medal of Honor on so many levels. He unfortunately was killed by our own bombs, but it didn't take the Honor that he still receives thanks to all who just read this story of his life. Thank you Tara, for bringing these historical moments that remind us of the sacrifices that were made by so many that we can enjoy our freedoms today. God Bless the USA!
Thank you Mr. Bianchi for your determination to frustrate the enemy for the cause of your brothers in arms, your country and our freedom. We honor you.
Market Commons is a mixed use real estate development on the site of the former Myrtle Beach AFB. It is popular with tourists. To get there you drive down Farrow Parkway named for William “Billy” Farrow from Darlington County South Carolina. Lt. Farrow was a navigator with Doolittle’s raiders. Captured in China by the Japanese he was transferred to Japan and executed. The people back in Darlington County spent the war not knowing his fate. My mom was one of those left wondering until the end of the war.
This one is especially heartbreaking. 💔 First Lt Bianchi almost made it home. The service and support he rendered to his fellow POWs was not forgotten. How gracious his mother was after losing her only son! The sacrifices have been many. The cost unimaginable. Thank you for reminding us of our brave soldiers and their families, Tara.
