Some gave their lives, some fell
captive to the enemy, but all OF
them - on Midway or Wake, IN
Hawaii or the Philippines, on land
or at sea-fought bravely and hard.
Among those who fought until
overpowered was Major Patrick SIN
not Deveeaux, commander OF the
Marines who defended Wake for SO
long. Devereaux, now a prisoner OF
the Japanese, was decorated In de-
cember before the island fell.
Lieutenant John Hamilton Kinney,
