Being released from a POW camp was just the beginning of Lester Tenney's quest...
In 1940, Lester Tenney joined a tank unit in the US Army Reserves, hoping to serve 1 year and then move on with his life.
But the world had different plans.
Captured by Japanese forces on Bataan Peninsula in The Philippines in the early days of World War 2, Tenney endured the Bataan Death March and spent 3 years and 6 months in POW camps in The Philippines and Japan.
He then spent more than 70 years on a quest for forgiveness and redemption.
