This page is to honor and remember the men of Manila American . . .
our fathers, uncles, brothers, and loved ones . . . on their day . . . at the one place on earth where they are most remembered.

For keeping this place on earth so well ~ we want to thank the American Battle Monuments Commission,
along with the Manila American Superintendent and his staff for the dignity and reverence the whole
ABMC team provides our fathers and the friends and loved ones who visit them.

Longtime Manila American Coordinator Patty Temte arranged for the permission to use this photograph
to span the three covers of the new main AWON Membership Brochure.

The Manila Wreath of 2017 was one of the most beautiful wreaths at Manila ~ on ANY Memorial Day.

Mr. Vicente Lim presented this wreath on Memorial Day of 2010 ~ along with his Grandson, Vicente Lim IV ~
remembering among others ~ his own father, who is listed on the Manila Tablets of the Missing.

Group Leader and AWON Manila Coordinator Patty Temte presented this wreath on Memorial Day 2010.

The Lim family (shown above in 2014) has been involved with Manila wreath presentations since 2009.

As you may know, cautions related to the Covid-19 virus caused the American Battle Monuments Commission
to close all ABMC overseas cemeteries to the public until further notice. But Memorial Day remembrances are happening
regardless, not just at our overseas cemeteries, but right here, right now, as we remember all who died in the cause of
freedom ~ including the 78 AWON men of Manila.

Patty Radcliff Temte has been the only Stateside Coordinator Manila American has ever had, as Patty remembers her father,
SGT Ernest Gilbert Radcliff, KIA 26 May 45! Due to health issues, Patty has handed the Manila baton to friend and avid Manila supporter,
Ruthie Joyce, who assumes the role of Stateside Coordinartor for Manila for Memorial Day 2021.

Due to Covid, no public services were held on Memorial Day 2020.
Please be patient as we bring in treatments of 2004 through 2007 from another server.
