We take a break this week from the #MusingsTour2018 to interview James Bollich on his experiences as a 3.5 year Prisoner of War under the Japanese army during World War II after surviving The Bataan Death march after the Armed Forces fell in The Phillipines. Mr. James’ rewards are extensive, including but not limited to: the Pres. Unit Citation –Bronze Star Medal – Purple Heart Medal – POW Medal – American Campaign Medal – WW II Victory Medal – Philippine President’s Badge – Philippine Defense Medal – Philippine Liberation Medal – Philippine Independence Medal – and most recently the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor (the highest honor awarded to a citizen). He’s 97, still drives, and only uses a walking stick. We hope this episode lends perspective to how to deal with pain & suffering in a way that leads to perseverance.
