We are finding it increasingly vital to share the stories of our WWII Veterans, as we are losing them so quickly. After all, legacy is the essence of this project. The popularity of our Memorial Day social media post on Medal of Honor Recipient Woody Williams made us realize this even more. "The Greatest Generation" is the term they are known by, and this particular podcast on Alfred Haws' harrowing experience during the Bataan Death March serves as a great reminder of why. You can read the story at the link below or follow along on Instagram and Facebook as we share his story daily. This podcast was narrated by our founder, Tim K.
