"My Hitch In Hell", a Bataan Death March Survivor.

On Pearl Harbor Day 1941, the Japanese invaded the Philippine Islands and took 15,000 American and 55,000 Filipino soldiers prisoner.  The horrific Bataan Death march began, ultimately taking the prisoners to Japan where they remained for three years.  One out of eight survived and the few left were on their last legs when they saw the mushroom cloud over Nagasaki some thirty miles from their camp and their lives were saved by the American nuclear bombs.

Dr. Tenney's story is grim - it is living history.
