El Cerrito: Regalado and Bataan Legacy

el cerrito: Ramon Regalado died Dec. 16 in El Cerrito, California, said Cecilia I. Gaerlan, executive director of the Bataan Legacy Historical Society, which has fought to honour Regalado and others, according to CTV. She did not have a cause of death. He was 100. He really embodied the qualities of the greatest generation and love for country, she said. He was a machine-gun operator with the Philippine Scouts under U.S. Army Forces when troops were forced to surrender in 1942 to the Japanese after a grueling three-month battle. Regalado was born in 1917 in the Philippines. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
