My Dad was also in that battle....it was Luzon, Phillipines...the guys at the 25th web site can tell you all about it if you can get them started....there is also a book that was written about their actions which tells about that 160 plus days in combat without relief.....my Dad saved his copy for me and I just could not bring myself to take his book, it was just too much for me. Someone stole the book, so I messed that one up. My sisters found a copy of the book on the internet so they are still around. It may be hard but you and your Dad should talk. I let up because I felt it stirred old memories that hurt my Dad; and now I wish I had just went ahead and learned all I could from him and shared all I could with him about his terrible ordeals to keep us free. I am currently in New Zealand visiting my son and trying to find out where they went in New Zealand for R&R (I remember they went to New Zealand but I don not remember where. If your Dad can tell me where they went I would appreciate it. May God bless both you and your Dad.
