Manila American Cemetery

[@feil07]

When I was a kid my father brings us to American Memorial Cemetery to have a picnic whenever available and enjoyed the historical significance of this memorial place. Now that I'm 40 years old it's very emotional that I brought my own family to experience again this breathtaking scenery on ABMC's 100th year anniversary. Rest easy our valiant defenders of freedom. Time will truly not dim the glory of your deeds. Salute!

Proud of this place, and proud of the work we do here.

I visited this place of honor in August of I977. I felt an inner peace as I saw the white crosses and the names of those missing in action. May God extend ever lasting peace on these brave souls.

Thank you for this video, this is very emotional to see all the graves, my grandfather came to the US in 1920 from the Philippines, he was with the U.S. army, fought in WW2 in the Philippines. I hope people all over the world and Americans who have no clue of filipino soldiers including filipino women who have also sacrificed their lives for freedom. Americans and Filipinos will always be allies no matter what. The American Memorial Cemetery is very beautiful and serene, well maintained. It's the Arlington Cemetery of the Philippines.

You said it all

If you ever get to visit Washington DC please see the World War II memorial...Philippines name is all over, even one like the 50 United States.

I just found out through Ancestry DNA that our paternal grandfather, Pvt. John B. Redman, U.S. Army Air Forces, 28th Materials Squadron, 20th Air Base Group, died in the Japanese POW camp (#4), O’Donnell, Capas, Tarlac, Philippines, on May 24, 1942, of dysentery (& starvation and malnutrition, which could not be officially cited as causes of death per Japanese Headquarters) after taking part in the Bataan Death March. My grandfather is buried in Plot L, Row 5, Grave 66. He received a Purple Heart posthumously. I desperately want to visit this beautiful cemetery to say a prayer for my biological grandfather, and for all these soldiers in general. I WILL get there. Until then, though, if someone could snap a picture of John Redman’s grave and lay a rose, I will compensate you accordingly. “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.” ~John 15:13 🇺🇸💜

A lot of our 11th Airborne Division Angels are buried in that cemetery after giving their last full measure of devotion while fighting to liberate the Philippines in 1944-1945. Thank you for honoring our fallen troopers and for taking care of their final resting places.

Thank you for putting this up. I may not get to see this in person, but I am glad to see this historical site here in this video.

[@paultritle9494]

God bless, can’t wait to visit some day soon. They were true heroes

[@gramo63]

I live nearby & come here often. My wife & I are US citizens. Her uncle is listed here as "Missing in Action." This Cemetery may well be the most beautiful spot in Manila! The border scenery can be improved by planting more fruit trees (mango, jackfruit, chico, lanzones rambutan) and dwarf coconuts. The staff & personnel will appreciate it.

[@brinleyafan]

Thank you to each person represented by those crosses. May their memories be a blessing for generations of their families to come, and an inspiration to our citizenry

Our family's young man is buried here. 2nd Lt. Lowell Mulcahy, aged 23, 20th Pursuit Group, who died piloting his P-40 fighter plane on December 8, 1940 (December 7 US time),defending the United States of America against the bombers of the Empire of Japan as they attacked Clark Field on the island of Luzon. There are very few burials from December of 1941 in this cemetery because it was so early in the war. He was one of the very first of America's young men to die on the very first day of that war--and before FDR gave his "Day of Infamy " declaration of war speech. When his friends found him after the bombing, they wrote his mother there was nothing they could do but "offer a prayer and their solemn vow." Many years later, his commanding officer told us that he was a natural fighter pilot, and those among whom he was one were sent there because they were America's very best at that time, to be the tip of our spear. But he was many other things, too. An only son of a school teacher, with movie star looks. He had many friends and it was said that when he entered a room young women would quietly watch him. A student body president at Fresno State College (now Cal State Fresno), he was an exceptional athlete, a college football and baseball player, a ski instructor in California's Sierra Nevada. He had performed in an anti war play while in college. As an air cadet he made a "dead stick" landing when he plane lost power and he landed in a field near Sant Maria, California safely, and then two days later sprained his ankle when he tripped getting out of bed. He had only one love, who he married shortly before shipping out for the Philippines in September of 1941. She and his mother remained close friends as until his mother's death many years later. When my brothers and I were young and said our prayers each night, we were always reminded to "say a prayer for Lowell." The flag of his casket was flown over the US Capitol in Washington, DC. My mother visited his grave for the first and only time in the early 1980's and my brother who accompanied her said it was very hard for her to find him at last. He was never forgotten by those who loved him, as long as they lived, and he remains our hero.
