Pictured below, WWII hero Russell W. Volckmann is shown seated at far right, with American military representatives at the Japanese surrender, September 2, 1945. His autobiography “We Remained” describes his bold refusal to leave the Philippines combatants to fight the Japanese soldiers. Instead, he led them into the hills, taught effective guerrilla warfare tactics, and effectively struck the enemy forces.
