World War II– a war we never knew that our ordinary fishermen were a part of, and contribute to the win.<\/p>\n
Let’s look back at the history of World War II to recall some historical events that involved the Cebuano people and how we, as a nation, became a key to the end of the Japanese invasion.<\/p>\n
The war involved several major countries in the world, but this blog post will be about the American and the Japanese people battling in the Philippines during the Second World War.<\/p>\n
