There was a light that I saw in the distance, faint and flickering, a sign of hope much like the light at the top of a lighthouse flickering in the fog…the table is waiting, a place just for me…they haven’t forgotten. They know who we are and they know our pain.
 
Mr. Phillip Coon, WWII Battan March Survivor Philippines

You fought with a passion like no others could ever know…we wait patiently with a light to remind you we are here…we are here waiting…holding a place just for you. The light will not fade…it is eternal in our minds and hearts as we wait…to honor your return.
