In reply to the discussion: My wife's warning to America [View all]Blue_Roses
(13,910 posts)58. My mother was a nurse in the Army
during WWII and she was stationed in the Philippines. One of her friends from nursing school was a POW in the Santo Tomas Internment
Camp, after the Japanese took over the island.
My mother wasn't there when they invaded the Philippines, but came a year later by hospital ships.
I never knew all this while I was growing up. She never wanted to talk about it. It wasn't until much later that she told us.
