Wow Tom, I'm glad your grandfather chose Puerto Rico... and your dad made it through Okinawa.
While I was in Bataan, I took some videos and put together this 8 minute tribute. The book in the video is my copy of Bataan, Our Last Ditch which was signed by many veterans and counting... those are the scribbles you see on the first few pages:
Rick's soil came from that dirt you see in the video being put in a can (although I wasn't able to bring back that much).
Cheers. -victor
You should take a look at VeeVee's tribute - it is excellent!! It isn't the first thing he has done like that, either - check out his Philippine Scout forum - it is great!!
