I just found out through Ancestry DNA that our paternal grandfather, Pvt. John B. Redman, U.S. Army Air Forces, 28th Materials Squadron, 20th Air Base Group, died in the Japanese POW camp (#4), O’Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, Philippines, on May 24, 1942, of dysentery (& starvation and malnutrition, which could not be officially cited as causes of death per Japanese Headquarters) after taking part in the Bataan Death March. My grandfather is buried in Plot L, Row 5, Grave 66. He received a Purple Heart posthumously.
I desperately want to visit this beautiful cemetery to say a prayer for my biological grandfather, and for all these soldiers in general. I WILL get there. Until then, though, if someone could snap a picture of John Redman’s grave and lay a rose, I will compensate you accordingly.

Proud of this place, and proud of the work we do here.
My wife, kid and I were given a tour by Crista this afternoon and she told us about your passion and extensive knowledge of WWII history... Hope to visit again soon and meet you to share more insights of this place! Kudos Guys! Hope the new Visitors Center open soon ...Regards to Crista.

I visited this place of honor in August of I977. I felt an inner peace as I saw the white crosses and the names of those missing in action. May God extend ever lasting peace on these brave souls.
Thank you for this video, this is very emotional to see all the graves, my grandfather came to the US in 1920 from the Philippines, he was with the U.S. army, fought in WW2 in the Philippines. I hope people all over the world and Americans who have no clue of filipino soldiers including filipino women who have also sacrificed their lives for freedom. Americans and Filipinos will always be allies no matter what. The American Memorial Cemetery is very beautiful and serene, well maintained. It's the Arlington Cemetery of the Philippines.
You said it all
If you ever get to visit Washington DC please see the World War II memorial...Philippines name is all over, even one like the 50 United States.
When I was a kid my father brings us to American Memorial Cemetery to have a picnic whenever available and enjoyed the historical significance of this memorial place. Now that I'm 40 years old it's very emotional that I brought my own family to experience again this breathtaking scenery on ABMC's 100th year anniversary. Rest easy our valiant defenders of freedom. Time will truly not dim the glory of your deeds. Salute!
Salute kami sa Philippines Army🇵🇭😢😢and US Army🇺🇸🇺🇸😢😢😢
That's an amazing place. A great memorial for servicemen.
with lots of love❤️and respect from Philippines🇵🇭
A lot of our 11th Airborne Division Angels are buried in that cemetery after giving their last full measure of devotion while fighting to liberate the Philippines in 1944-1945. Thank you for honoring our fallen troopers and for taking care of their final resting places.
Thanks a lot for this wonderful Video related to American soldiers in the Philippines. From this video,I can know the American late soldiers. A warn greeting from Putra Matebean in Timor Leste
God bless, can’t wait to visit some day soon. They were true heroes
Thank you for putting this up. I may not get to see this in person, but I am glad to see this historical site here in this video.
I live nearby & come here often. My wife & I are US citizens. Her uncle is listed here as "Missing in Action." This Cemetery may well be the most beautiful spot in Manila!
The border scenery can be improved by planting more fruit trees (mango, jackfruit, chico, lanzones rambutan) and dwarf coconuts. The staff & personnel will appreciate it.
God bless Uncle Alvarez. Your sister our Mom Mary is now with you in heaven. 🙏 Thank you for your service.
GOD BLESS AMERICA...Freedom is not Free..........
FOREVER Peace, to all our Heroes, please GUIDE us in our life's journey
