What a great honor for you to have met him. I hope someday I'd have the same opportunity.

VeeVee Mr Frazier told me one thing that got him trough the POW experience was his faith in God. He only carried tooth brush, canteen , and his Bible. He was just 17 yrs old when captured. I could have spent many hrs talking to him. He has made 1 trip back several yrs ago. His book Hell's Guest is one that you have to read.

Adding the book to my list... I hope there's an Audible version of it. I'm so hard pressed to finish books these days. I have about 5 or 6 unfinished Bataan related books.
Do you know if Glenn Frazier travels around to promote his book or is he pretty-much stays around Alabama?

I will check with him on the audible book if available. Yes Mr Frazier does travel for speaking engagements. He has a web site that you might want to visit as well he is on Facebook.
