Hi Everyone,
I'd just like to share some photos i took at yesterday's commemoration of the bombing of clark field and Collin kelly's heroic mission. It was great to see the familiar faces from the Bataan Commemorations earlier this year and see a great many new faces. Present were the PSHS Mc Kinley and Stotsenberg groups, The BNK, The various Jeep owners and many more. We were specially honored to meet 26th Cavalry Veteran Capt. Felipe Fernandez, who regaled us with his stories of the Bataan campaign.
Full Circle: Capt Felipe Fernandez 26th Cavalry (PS) back home at Fort Stotsenberg for the first time since 1948:
The honor guard assembled for a commemorative photo at the Stotsenberg parade ground:
Captain Fernandez' Family:
Jnmodeller with the scouts flag:
Mc Kinley Chapter president Mon Macasinag replendent in his Class A uniform:
Cavalrymen!
Philip Garcia presents Captain Fernandez with his old photo:
"Where did you find that?!!!!"
The boys gather round their idol:
David of the BNK strikes a pose:
Ray and the 48 stars and stripes flag:
Weapons galore:
No airconditioned car for this cavalryman...he wanted to ride in the jeep!
The expression says it all:
