Unconquerable Faith

Enlisting at the age of 16, Everett D. Reamer was a boy who became a soldier who became a prisoner of war at the hands of the Japanese during World War II.

As a member of an anti-aircraft gun crew, he fought and was wounded in the battles to defend Corregidor, "The Rock" -- the "Alamo of the Pacific".

Spending three and a half years as a POW before his liberation, Everett would survive marches, disease, and imprisonment on Bataan; the unspeakable conditions aboard the Hell Ships; brutality in the form of starvation, beatings, and 28 days of continuous torture; being forced to stand at attention without food, water, or relief for 132 hours; and, solitary confinement for more than 11 months.

Sustained only by the flag, which represents all our country embraces, as well as his belief in God, Everett D. Reamer's story is one of personal courage. It is a story of unimaginable endurance. It is a story of patriotism. Indeed, it is a story of...Unconquerable Faith.
