My great-grandfather, Paul Kerchum, is one of the last known survivors of the Bataan death march. He is also currently in his last days. I thought this sub would be the best place to remember him, as he has dedicated so much of his life to bring attention to this little-known tragedy of WWII.1yr ⋅ TanichcaF ⋅ r/ww2

Hummus update! Over a week since cheating death, Hummus has learned she fits perfectly in the crook of my arm, and she begrudgingly accepts being groomed by our dog. She's doubled in weight and in cattitude!1yr ⋅ TanichcaF ⋅ r/standardissuecat
Eight months ago, we rescued a half-dead Hummus from the sidewalk. My husband told me (and this sub) there was no way we were keeping her. Today, he's down with the flu, and which spoiled cat is still here to comfort him?1yr ⋅ TanichcaF ⋅ r/standardissuecat
Paul Kerchum, potentially the last survivor of the Bataan Death March, passed away on December 17th... three years to the day since the passing of his wife. He was my great-grandfather and a hero.1yr ⋅ TanichcaF ⋅ r/ww2
