TDIH: Raid on Cabanatuan

I grew up on stories of the rescue, my Great Uncle was a rescued internee and stayed behind to treat wounded members of the rescue party he earned a Bronze Star for it and the street on which Walter Reed Annex was located was named after him......Stephen Sitter Avenue at Ft Detrick, MD. After the war he served at Walter Reed. Retired a LTC. His lifespan was shortened due to medical issues as the result of starvation during captivity. I think he had only 10% of his stomach lining left after release from the camp. His Sons are still alive and are all Army Alum from the Vietnam War and I suggested to RP to do a story on this because his son Larry Sitter (former Army Infantry CPT with the 82nd Airborne) collected a lot of historical info on it but RP never responded. Steve Jr, served as a combat medic with the 82nd during Vietnam, forget what his third son did but he served in Vietnam as well. You have to feel bad for their Mother, first her husband is a POW and dies prematurely, then all her Sons ship off to Vietnam 10-15 years later.
