Health, learning and virtue will ensure your happiness they will give you a quiet conscience, private esteem and public honour. It is neither wealth nor splendor, but tranquility and occupation which give happiness. This is the true secret, the grand recipe for felicity.

The US soldiers were exhausted, malnourished and yet, when a comrade fell, a fellow soldier picked him up, carried him and if he died, he did not die alone. On April 9, 1942 the arduous Battan Death March began. And today when I see a gurney with a sealed body bag being rushed to a sealed cold storage van, I am reminded of that field hospital where others died alone and the families didn’t get to say goodbye or I love you.Īfter fighting the Battle of Battan in the Philippines for three months, US Forces surrendered.
