Opis

Don Crawford was born the son of a gold mine engineer on the Philippine Island of Luzon approximately one year before Japan's attack on Manila during World War II. He spent his formative years not only as a refugee of war hiding in the jungles of Luzon, but as a prisoner of war, along with his father, mother, and two sisters, in Santo Tomas Internment Camp in Manila. He was nearly four years old when his family was finally liberated. Don believes these early years, the legacy of his parents' sacrifice, and the stories he grew up hearing about these events, shaped his outlook on life. He considers any trials he's encountered throughout his life as opportunities to walk in the footsteps of his parents, to demonstrate a similar courage. This is an account of the daunting circumstances Don's family endured, and their lasting effect on his own legacy.
