RE: The Mile Long Barracks - Beautiful Sunday
It is likely I would never have known about this incredible piece of American history if you had not gone to visit this island and shared all these photos with us. I think your idea of restoring the cinema to show films about the island to tourists is a wonderful idea.
Hey @melinda010100 Oh the bond between America and the Philippines runs deep. When the American and Philippine soldiers were left behind and captured the bond became deeper. There are so many stories to tell about their sacrifice and bravery. The hardship they endured in prison camps. I think US presidents visited Corregidor in the past. I really wish they used the budget to renovate the cinema it would be surreal experiencing a cinema from the 1940's.
The bond does indeed run deep. I can't begin to imagine what those boys went through together.
