# Cpt Guerilla Forces, on 1/30/1945 provided the military intelligence & support for the 100 members of the 6th
Ranger Bn in the raid on the Cabanatuan (Phil) POW camp of 511 Americans with the help of Pilipino guerillas and civilians
The Great Raid movie starring Pilipino actor Cesar Montano as Cpt Juan Pajota;
Benj Pratt as Lt. Col Henry Mucci and James Franco as Cpt Robert Prince was based in this daring rescue. Lt. Col Mucci and
Cpt Prince received Medal of Honor. Forgive me, for awarding Captain Juan Pajota top billing in this website although, he
did not receive any MOH. Now, probably you could understand my sentiments in creating this website.

From Shanghai to
Corregidor: Marines in the Defense of the Philippines
by J. Michael Miller
Mess Sergeant Milton T. Larios, Corporal Earl C. Dodson, and a Filipino cook named "Pop" were preparing
rations for the Marines still in the Cavite Navy Yard when the air-raid siren went off. Larios shouted, "Let's get this meat
off the fire," and tried to load the beef into a nearby garbage can when the bombs hit. Corporal Dodson remembered running
until hearing the whistle of the bombs coming down and then fell to the ground. Explosions covered him with dirt and debris
but he escaped the blast unhurt. He ran back to the mess area where he found Larios dead and "Pop" dying. He carried the bleeding Filipino to a collection point where 15 wounded Americans and Filipinos were
lying together.
(Notes by Maria Embry-another mission of this
website to be inclusive in listing all Pilipinos who served or died for the defense of the Philippines during WW11. Many remained nameless, truly their names are only known
to God)
