> I mostly lurk here as I've got an old TCS-12 rec./tx. set and look for any posts in ref. to that unit. I'm confused by the video you posted, Mr. Hue Miller. Had that POW camp been recently liberated? If so, what were the japs doing still guarding the camp? All those smiling faces, so I figured the war was recently over and the camp was free. I appreciate your comment on the USMC. '68-'72. Semper Fi.
