There were 23 big gun instillations Corregidor. We did not visit them all.
General MacArthur had his headquarters here at Corregidor for a while. He seems to be deeply respected here in the Philippines.
Look at the size of the bullet that is fired from some of the guns here.
An American helping a Filipino soldier. They fought together during the war. Many Filipinos died here.
This is the spot where General Wainwright surrendered. The sun will fall on the table perfectly on the day and hour this surrender was signed. These soldiers would now face the Bataan death march.
The Japanese lost a lot of people on this island as well. There are memorials set up on the island for those men as well.
Many escaped the bombing in this tunnel. The President of the Philippines was here for safety for a while.
We have really enjoyed all the great and exciting things that you have posted on your blog. This blog is really cool it might be a good way to keep a journal. I have been inspired by the stories of the wonderful people you are meeting and the experiences you are having as you serve the Lord in this great work. The people you have told us about have inspired me in many ways. I hope and pray their lives where not completely devastated by the hurricane. You both are looking great or at least your good at faking it for pictures. We really enjoyed having Ryan and the kids here. Ryan is such a great dad and the kids are just the cutest. You both a such a great inspiration to us we love you both and hope your safe and pray for your success every day. I'm so high tech I had to use Sharon's account to send you this. I have been meaning to do this ever since you left it wasn't as painful as I thought. Happy Thanksgiving!!
