Thank you for this information. I've just begun to do more research on my paternal grandfather who earned his Purple Heart for wounds sustatined at Luzon in 1945. He was a member of the 1st Division of the 7th Cavalry Regiment and I have old newspaper articles detailing some of the action on Luzon and his role in the capture of a Japanese machine gun nest that his squad then used against the enemy during that battle.

I too wish someone would make a motion picture to preserve for posterity and educate the popluace on what took place in Luzon and Okinawa when all the media attention during that time was directed elsewhere.

I am also now quite motivated to visit this cemetary on Luzon as it's like my grandfathers brother may be buried there. He was KIA at Luzon.

Cordially,
Bryan M. Mesnard
Grandson of SSgt Durrell N. Mesnard, 1st of the 7th, WWII
