I need someone to do this when I am at home.
After 3 weeks, finally starting my 21 hour journey home.
A Jewish grave marker at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial. Time will not dim the glory of their deeds.
The Memorial is 152 acres, with 17,097 headstones, 164 of them are Stars of David like this one. The memorial includes 36,286 names of soldiers missing in action, and 25 ten foot maps portraying important World War II Pacific campaigns. The cemetery is the largest in the number of graves and the names recorded on the walls of those missing. The government of the Philippines granted the land in perpetuity with charge or taxation.
Some people asked why I am actually in Manila. Simple answer…business. So, while I have explored a bit on my off time, I’m here to accomplish a goal. This is actually my first trip to this part of the world. Never been this far east(or west, which I flew to get here).
Good morning, Manila
Fort Santiago was built in 1593 and is one of the most important historical sites in Manila.
