Dear Friend of the Maywood Bataan Day Organization:
You are cordially invited to the 68th Annual Maywood Bataan Day Service. This year, the Service will take place on Sunday, September 12, at 3pm at Maywood Veterans Memorial Park at the corner of 1st and Oak in Maywood, IL.
The keynote speaker will be Brigadier General Steven P. Director of the
Joint Staff JFHQ-IL, Illinois National Guard. As the Director of Joint
Staff, General Huber is responsible for the Illinois National Guard's
integration and coordination of National Guard Capabilities in support of Homeland Defense and Defense Support to Civil Authorities.
We will also have a Featured Speaker this year, author John D. Lukacs. Mr. Lukacs is the author of several books, including his most recent, Escape From Davao, which captures the events that led to Col. Edward Dyess alerting Americans to the horrors of the Bataan Death March and other POW atrocities.
A hands-on historian who enjoys forensic documentary research and believes that first-hand knowledge of a geographical location is essential to fashioning a riveting narrative, John has explored battlefields, bunkers, jungles, tunnels, wrecks and airfields everywhere from Europe to the Pacific.
And we also will have on hand many WWII reenactors, who will be dressed in the uniforms of the earliest soldiers fighting in WWII. They will join the color guards and will be on hand to answer questions about their uniforms and more. Please feel free to forward this email to others.
