Their Stories . . . Our stories
Contained on this page are the stories of several of those 3,900 individuals to be on the Memorial. It shouldn't be forgotten that with every name comes a story. Also noted is their address at the time of enlistment.
World War II shaped the lives of so many. Transforming everyday people into extraordinary patriots; soldiers, sailors, marines, nurses, medics, riveters, sheet metal workers and more. Their experiences as individuals were different yet so very similar to all others. Ultimately, as with a photo album, their stories become our stories, become future generations' stories.Joe Poster

Weighing in at 180 pounds, he had the unfortunate occurrence of becoming a Prisoner of War in the Pacific Theater. For three-and-a-half years he was tortured and mistreated. Among hundreds who died on what is now called the Bataan Death March, Mr. Poster survived. When finally freed he weighed a mere 82 pounds.
