My fathers story reflects the personal strengths of all the men who marched up the Bataan Peninsulabravery, perseverance, selflessnessbut it also reflects more when considered from the viewpoint of his personal beliefs, talents, and aspirations.

Telling His Story: POW #1000 recounts the details of J.C. Pardues story of the brutality of the Bataan Death March and Japanese POW Camps. This memoir, compiled and edited by his daughter, Janis Pardue Hill, Ph.D., covers his enlistment in the United States Army Air Corps, the succeeding battle to hold Bataan, the surrender of Bataan, the brutal, inhumane treatment he received on the death march and in POW camps, his time as an enslaved person in Japan, and his ultimate perseverance to live a Christian life.
Most prominent among her fathers memories was the miracle of his Bible. Even after being directly hit by a fragmentation bomb, confiscation in a prisoner of war camp, and disposal on the hell ship the Nissyo Maru, her fathers Bible always found its way back to him. His most treasured possession, the Bible made it home to the states with POW #1000 after the Japanese finally surrendered.
