Did you know that on 9/11/1944 more than 1,200 died when U.S. forces sank two Japanese prison ships containing thousands of Allied captives?

I respect and honor all those lost on that horrible day 14 years ago. I pray for those we lost and their families. I pray for our troops who were killed or injured in service to our nation as well.

I did not know that. However, given how the Japanese treated their prisoners in WWII, you have to wonder if it was a better end than what waited for them at their intended destination.

I did not know that. How sad.
