and Ace has a photo of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington.

One of the saddest sights I've seen was while reviewing the wall of photos at Lolo's cousins in Munoz. He had lived with them for a few years after his father died and went to school with their brother, who was a bit older than him.
On the wall, they had the family photos, one of which was of this cousin, who fought during the war and was killed by the Japanese. I think this was the cousin who was tortured to death by the Japanese for fighting against them.
Next to his photo was the letter of condolence, sent by Harry Truman...
Lolo's brother was also one of these fighters,

and at the end of the war Lolo was old enough to join them for the last push against the fleeing Japanese (although he claims he never was in a battle). So the Philippines consider him a veteran, but not the US...
