Where Heroes Rest: The Philippines
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Tucked away, in the shadow of skyscrapers, you'll find a sea of heroes resting on a foreign lawn. Thousands of marble crosses, lined up in formation.
FOX31 anchor Jeremy Hubbard recently visited the Manila American Cemetery in the Philippines, where more than 17,000 American men and women who died in Asia during World War II are buried. Thousands more, whose bodies were never recovered, are honored on the Wall of the Missing.
Among them, 627 Colorado men... and one Colorado woman.
Our FOX31 "Serving Those Who Serve" Memorial Day special tells the stories of some of these forgotten Colorado heroes.

@@sfv6 Words cannot express how grateful I am to you. Thanks for honoring my hero uncle
When you plan to go to the Philippines. Probably buy a air line tickets from a travel agency office instead of buying online.
Will do sir
Every American should visit this place when they visit the Philippines. Paid my respects
In memory of Cpl Marcelino D. Serrano, Battery A , 86th Field Artillery BN, US Army, died in a POW camp, buried in a mass grave, but so grateful that his name is etched on the wall of the Manila American Cemetery. Thank you for all who gave their lives.
As a Filipono I would like to say thank you for these Heroes who save my homeland
That’s the biggest US cemetery outside Mainland USA
Speaking as a former US Army soldier of Philippine descent, I can assure you that these HEROES/HEROINES WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN...
Watching this makes me a proud Filipino American god bless America and the Philippines
As a Filipino, I truly appreciate the bravery and sacrifice that these American heroes give to free our country from the war. Respect to those who fought for our freedom.
fought for our freedom are you sure about that?
Free 😂😂 BOBO mo ..what a stupid
He meant freedom from The Japanese atrocities
@@churizobilbao9336 Reason number one why the japanese attacked the Philippines in the first place is because the Americans tricked us on the Spanish-Americans negotiations the Spanish sold us to the Americans and built Military Bases here learn the history and you will know the real enimies just like the conflict between china and the west right now The west will make cannon fodders out of us Filipinos we have to stay neutral say NO! to American Military bases being built on our lands
@@nbaburn3569 if the Americans didn't help fight for that freedom you'd be talking in japanese now.
We do respect and honor the bravery and sacrificed they did not just for the U.S but also for our country, The Philippines. They fought together with Filipinos against the Japanese Empire. The friendship and brotherhood of the U.S and the Philippines is truly Ironclad. Thank you for your service American troops, together with the Filipino soldiers who fought for the freedom. We salute you 🇺🇲🇵🇭
Being from Manila, I had the privilege of visiting the place at least three times. Truly a sacred ground. It reminds me of who I should be thankful for the freedom I enjoy. Respect. 🇵🇭🇺🇸
Most beautiful❤memorial. ❤thank you PHILIPPINES❤

About the internment camp Hazel Carlson was in: that camp was on the campus of the Royal and Pontifical University of Santo Tomas, located in the Sampaloc district of Manila. Founded on April 28, 1611, it is under the administration of the Dominican Fathers, and has the distinction of being the oldest university not just in the Philippines, but in the entire Asian region as well. It is a Pontifical University, which designates a university which was established or approved directly by the Holy See. In UST's case, this distinction was made by Pope Leo XIII in 1902.
The internment camp at UST was in operation from January of 1942 to the liberation of Manila in February of 1945. In total, the camp had more than 7000 prisoners, crammed into an area of 48 acres. The conditions there were terrible, with food and sanitation inadequate for the population of the camp. Some of the other prisoners were transferred to the internment camp in Los Baños, Laguna (on the grounds of what was then the University of the Philippines College og Agriculture, now part of the University of the Philippines, Los Baños, which was liberated on February 23, 1945 by men of the 11th Airborne Division and Filipino guerrillas) and many males prisoners were crammed in those notorious Japanese "hell ships like what happened to Mrs. Carlson's husband, to be sent to Japan as slave labor there. When the camp was liberated on February 3, 1945, many of the prisoners were severely malnourished, and many others were in serious to critical condition due to illness. In total, 390 people died there, including Mrs. Carlson, killed in that February 7 artillery barrage by Japanese artillery when Douglas McArthur visited the camp.
There were many schools, universities and mansions that were made as camp for the POW by the Japs. Some they made it as their torture dungeon. Iloilo City has many of them. My high school and some universities and the famous Lizares mansion were one of them. The family couldn't take their atrocities. Left and sold their mansion now owned by a private school. We heard eerie sounds and howling in our school. No one wants to stay after 5pm. All of us are running out after the bell rang. My father before he passed went one more time to see his high school. So many memories in his mind. His is the FilAm war and WW II. Mine is the howling we heard during science class. Most likely it's the Filipinos they tortured. Many guirellas that sided with the Americans. There's also one mansion the Japs avoided to bomb. The Lopez mansion shaped like a boat. They were so amazed of the architecture that they saved it. See the many mansions in Iloilo City. Many were occupied by them Japs only a few were saved.

To All that served and sacrifices to free our islands from becoming Japanese...Maraming Salamat po/Thank you from the bottom of our hearts...We passby those cemeteries day and night and in my thoughts why Nobody come to visit them. There's also an American cemetery in Iloilo City. Thank you for sharing this to everyone. I hope many families will come to visit your families here. They're fallen but not forgotten. I have family members that have served with the Americans during WW II but we took them and buried them to our own public cemeteries. I wonder if there's also Americans servicemen there in WW I 1898-2010? Happy Memorial Day to All. 20:12 The best gift for me is for my Kid to be home from deployment in Europe.
Respect
Rest in Peace for the American soldiers who had sacrificed themselves in the Philippines.
Thank You AMERICA❤

There is also a memorial place like these at the Former Clark Air Force Base,Angeles City,Pampanga.
Home of the US 13Th Air Force.

Are they burried there? You should visit them. It's an exclusive, well maintained cemeteries and there's one in Panay island too(Iloilo City). All Souls/Saints Day is a big celebration for us in November. We all go bring flowers and foods to the cemeteries and spend time with our loved ones to remember them. I hope you all can come and find out where your loved ones are. If they're missing they must be burried in our islands. God bless we will never forget and forever greatful to all of them. From words of Gen. McArthur "I shall return. "
Love u Jacinto

Our neighborhood is near that place the buildings in the background is the place known as BGC (Bonifacio Global City) which formerly a Golf course, american Cemetery is a very nice place very well maintain.
There is another cemetery that can be found here in Clark Freeport Zone..
There's also Clark Veterans Cemetery in my home province of Pampanga.
I went to that cemetery in Feb 2017 while on vacation.
Memorial day
I pay respects and admiration to these American heroes. I salute all of you. Thank you
Nakakaiyak

Not all Saints day but all souls day.

Wowww wowww, until this time they keep the letter from their love one's.
Soldier is a soldier
Respect & thnk u American soldiers who fought together with filipinos during WW2. May this war never happen again. 🙏
There's another one U.S. cemetery but it's at the former U.S. Clark air force base. But it's not the same like the one in Manila
I think that area will a new Smart City of the Philippines called New Clark City
There's one too in Iloilo City .It's well maintained and exclusive cemetery.
We used to go there just to hang around coz it was cool and quiet. We called it the Battle Monument.
You should go to the Philippines and visit your love one.... before you go
There are also thousands of American heroes buried in the former Clark Airbase in Angeles, Pampanga. It was inadvertently forgotten due to Mount Pinatubo's eruption. It is now completely rehab and maintained.
Greetings from Quezon City. I was just trying to figure out if I could make a time lapsed video of the cemetery at BGC. One correction. Mindanao is not small island. It is the 2nd largest island after Luzon. I live on Luzon and I was in Mindanao last week but still great stuff.
we call that place FIL-AM CEMETERY (FILIPINO-AMERICAN) where filipinos and americans fought together. my grandfather is missing but listed there. LIBINGAN NG MGA BAYANI (HEROES CEMETERY) is a different place where here national heroes and former presidents are buried with some local soldiers too and some government officials. clark(angeles city) also holds some american graves, just smaller.
There is another one in the North of Manila in the city of Angeles in Clark Pampanga. It's inside the former American Military Base.
If it weren't for Japan the Philippines, the USA, nor the world would have suffered from the nightmare!!
The fight in that war was abt oil. Same motivation when US waged war against Middle East countries in the 90's on to the 21st century but this time it's America starting wars. Same same
@@minyoung823
Philippines 🇵🇭 was once a territory of the USA 🇺🇸. They bombed Hawaii next was the Philippines. Not because of oil. Now when China started to act like Japanese for sure they want oil and other resources of the islands.
@@suskagusip1036 read back on your history. One google search of why Japan joined WW2 and the word OIL will stare back at you.
@@minyoung823
For whatever reason you Japs have you don't have to act like Hitler or some Looser just because you want someone's oil. 🙄
Our ancestors were not born a Looser. They're hard working Asian people from morning to night they work their behinds to earn an honest living. Now you just took it just because you want it? It's not yours brother. Tell that to Emperor Xi.
@@minyoung823 please read the Anti-Comintern Pact. Reach book not google.
I love the fact that they deliberately forgot the thousands of "Filipino, Australian, New Zealander and other allied servicemen lying besides their American comrades".
Those people also died for the US. Especially the Filipino. They were dragged in this war because the US took their freedom from them during the Filipino-American War.
Even if we weren't under US government, we are still subject to invasion by the Japanese.
Well, it's always be like that of how the Americans narrate the history, "The Mighty Americans and (its allies)"
The video said that it would be covering people from Colorado….
Why are you upset about a video doing exactly what it said that it would do?
🇵🇭❤️🇺🇲
Mlapit site namin park McKinley phase 1
Schools should tour their students in these places to teach them the price of freedom
There's a lot more of em burried somewhere in Clark
I just wonder where are the relatives of these fallen soldiers now?
There are no corpses buried under, just names written in the stones. The bodies are never found
Rest and pepperonis
Cannot hear narration for the over loud music!!!
Now remember what you learned about pagpag
DECEASED, YES...BUT DEFINITELY NOT FORGOTTEN
Saving private ryan
that campus is university of sto tomas
Why mostly from.Colorado.
❤❤️🩹💐💐🌹🇺🇸🇵🇭
Filipinos should embrace RP-US alliance! Any anti RP-US alliance is pro Chinese government and anti-FILIPINO! If only the enemies of USA think like the Japanese- once mortal enemies, today, Japan is the best US ally in the whole Pacific region! Salute to those USAFEE soldiers- Filipinos and Americans!
Our house is nearby😂
December 8, 1941 was not "the day Pearl Harbor was bombed". It was technically the same day as the Philippines is almost a day ahead of Hawaii.
