Pat enlisted in the army Air Corp in 1941 prior to Pearl Harbor. He was on the Bataan Death March for 10 days and then escaped. He led a group of Pilipino guerillas in the jungle for 10 months against the Japanese but was later captured and sent to work as slave labor in Japanese mines. When he finally returned home he weighed 67 pounds. Mr. Patton is the recipient of two distinguished service awards, four battle stars and soon will receive his Purple Heart. Out of the 386 men that served in his outfit, 11 returned. In his lecture, Henry R. Patton pays tribute to those men.
