Our family has searched for information about my wife's uncle since 1943.
The government said they had no information other than he died.
Only now, through this ADBC website, have we learned
(from POW Tillman Rutledge) that my wife's uncle

Pvt. Stanley Mieczkowski,
K Co., 3rd Battalion, 31st Infantry Regt. (Polar Bears)
made it thru the Bataan Death March and died in
Camp O'Donnell 8 June 1942 of Dysentery.

Using the information we now have,
I created a memorial web site to Stanley.

We are hoping someone will remember him and can provide us with additional information about his garrison life, defensive positions and locations, battles, March information, or more regarding his death.   The family has been searching for 57 years.   The government was unable to help us, however;   his mother did receive his Purple Heart and became a Gold Star Mother.

POW Tillman Rutledge has given us information that we previously did not have, and we are ever so thankful.   He has helped close a very long gap of unknowing and heartache.   We will both be eternally grateful for not just the help we have received, but also for the sacrifices made under the most atrocious conditions.

Thank you very much for your help.
Words cannot fully express our gratitude.
