Memorial Day 2009 - A Tribute

A tribute to all who have served in our armed forces. This video is the story of the World War 2 Bataan Death March survivor, CWO Melvin H. Nesteby (USA-Ret.). Mr. Nesteby passed away shortly after the filming of this and we hope it serves as a reminder that there are many that have sacrificed for our freedom.

My great uncle Clarence Hagel is buried near the Argonne in France, where he was fatally wounded by machine gun fire, one month before the war was over. Another great uncle (Fred Hagel) was nerve gassed there (brothers).

My great uncle was killed in the Bataan Death March. He was a 2nd Lt. in the army and his name was Jack Moore. He was captured by the japs and killed by them. I'm only 39 yrs old but I am proud of my families military history and come from a military family even though I never served but I went to a military college for a while. God Bless you all!
