    "My Dad, James Henry "Hank" Cowan, was a lifelong member of the ADBC.
    His memoirs,  Bataan: A Survivor's Memoir  was written in 1970 but he was
    never able to get it published.   I finally fulfilled his dream and got an abbreviated
    edition on a website.

    He wanted nothing more than to make sure that his story was never forgotten.
    As long as my inkjet holds out I will continue to send it to people from the ADBC for free.   If anyone wants to contribute to the postage that is fine but I know that many vets are on a very limited income and I would not dream of charging them for my Dad's story.

    Your interest in his book is appreciated."
