Atalanta Rising

There is no real glory in war, and none should be given to it. But there should always be remembrance, praise, and thanks for those who sacrifice and pay untold costs, and even the grave for us.

And for Papa, a Battling Bastard, I always take time to remember…
Captured on Corregidor Islands; POW ’42-’45, Camp Hoten/Mukden in Manchuria.

We’re the Battling Bastards of Bataan,
No Mama, No Papa, No Uncle Sam,
No aunts, no uncles, no cousins, no nieces,
No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces,
And nobody gives a damn!
–Frank Hewlett
