D is for Dog. Melville Jacoby loved dogs, and even wrote postcards to his family’s border collie, Elmer, seen here with Mel in early 1941. #meljacobyatoz #history #dogs #adangershared
B is for Bataan.
Northwest of the Philippines capital of Manila, the Bataan Peninsula saw fierce resistance by U.S. and Filipino forces in the months that followed Pearl Harbor despite a severe lack of supplies, weapons, and ammunition.
