The last survivor of the Bataan Death March (1942) died at 105. After Dr. Albert Brown was freed in i945, he was told that he probably wouldn't live to 50 - he showed them. For the younger ones, in 1942 the Bataan Death March happened. It was a 65 mile forced march of prisioner by the Japanese. During the march 10,000 died.
I mention this because I feel that I can gain so much from the strenght of this man's 'being'. I can't begin to think that I could have survived what he did - but he did so I just need to dig a bit deeper and know that if he could do what he did - I'll keep fighting through anything this Monster might throw at me in the future.

He is not the last survivor
He was the oldest survivor. Bataan death march was at the beginning of WW2 and there are a number of survivors left. We happen to know one who lives in Nevada Missouri.0
