Hoten POW Camp Liberated
My father was in the Bataan Death March during WWII. The last POW camp he was at was Hoten in Manchuri, China. This is a video that made it to youtube. There is no sound. I do have a copy of this video given to us by another POW that knew my Dad. My father is at 4:02. He is the good looking guy on the left with his hand on the shoulder of the guy to his right with the white cap. My father does not have on a hat.
Dad passed away in 1983 and I still miss him.
Hey Dad you made it to youtube!!

The joy on his face just made me cry - I cannot imagine the horrors he faced, but that smile! What an amazing piece of film.
That was amazing! I wonder how many others are searching for their family member on that video now. Your dad sure looked happy! Thx for sharing this.
