For the "Military Buffs" here, I noticed that a Movie Studio has been here in Hawaii scouting sites for a Movie titled, "Fertig."

>>Colonel Wendell W. Fertig and the United States Forces in the Philippines during World War II. USFIP, as it was known, fought guerrilla warfare against the occupying Japanese forces from the surrender of American forces in the Philippines (i.e. the Bataan Death March) until General MacArthur's return.<<<

I had hopes that they would make a movie of this man's accomplishments, MacArthur made sure that he received as little credit as possible for his exploits. He had 30,000 troops under arms in 1945, and met our returning Army with a Brass Band. Looks like it will come off!
