In order to prevent the rescue of prisoners of war by the advancing Allies, on 14 December 1944, units of the Japanese Fourteenth Area Army (under the command of General Tomoyuki Yamashita) brought the POWs back to their own camp. An air raid warning was sounded to get the prisoners into the shelter trenches, the 150 prisoners of war at Puerto Princesa entered those trenches, and the Japanese soldiers set them on fire using barrels of gasoline.
Prisoners who tried to escape the flames were shot down by machine gun fire. Others attempted to escape by climbing over a cliff that ran along one side of the trenches, but were later hunted down and killed. Only 11 men escaped the slaughter; 139 were killed. Of the victims, 123 are buried in a mass grave at Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery, St Louis Missouri.
The incident sparked a series of POW rescue campaigns by the US, such as the raid at Cabanatuan on January 30, 1945, the raid at Santo Tomas Internment Camp on February 3, 1945, the raid of Bilibid Prison on February 4, 1945, and raid at Los Baños on February 23, 1945. It was testimony of survivor Pfc. Eugene Nielsen that convinced the US military to embark on a campaign to save the POWs in Philippines in 1945. In 2006, Nielsen was interviewed again by Geoffrey Panos on the behalf of the University of Utah.
Bones from the victims were discovered in early 1945. 16 Japanese soldiers were tried for the massacre, at Yokohama in August 1948. The Japanese personnel involved in the massacre were initially sentenced to death, but later, they were released in the general amnesty. (Wikipedia)

One thing is for certain,
These are uncertain times;
And this world in which we are living,
Offers little peace of mind.
We sail on troubled waters,
And we walk on shakey ground;
But there is a source of strength
that I have found.
There hangs inside my Grandfather's house;
A picture on the wall,
Of my Grandfather's father,
Standing strong and tall;
I stare into his face sometimes,
And gaze into his eyes;
There's just something there
That helps me realize,
That there's a family tree surrounding me,
Reminding me, that I do not stand alone,
And in my darkest hour, in my greatest time of need,
I'm strengthened by the roots of
My Family Tree.
I think of Grandmother and Grandfather,
How they worked hard to provide;
Now I see how much their love was
Just how much they sacrificed;
To know their love is timeless,
Though we're far away and grown;
Help me see that I am
Never all alone.
If God should grant me children,
To raise upon this earth;
I pray that I can teach them
The measure of their worth;
Not in terms of money,
Or in what they may achieve;
But in their being one more branch
Of the Family Tree.
There's a family tree surrounding me,
Reminding me, that I do not stand alone;
And in my darkest hours,
In my greatest time of need
I'm strengthened by the roots of,
My Family Tree.

As a change from conventional pancakes, these Fluffy Chocolate Pancakes would be a nice treat for Mother's Day.
This recipe adds a chocolate twist to the favorite classic pancake. It produces light, airy pancakes that get their flavor from unsweetened cocoa powder. Baking with cocoa powder saves time because it eliminates pre-melting steps required with other chocolate baking products.
Top the pancakes with whipped cream and fresh sliced strawberries for a luscious combination that would make an appealing centerpiece for a Mother's Day celebration breakfast.
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Whipped topping
Fresh strawberries, sliced
Combine flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder and baking soda in medium bowl. Combine buttermilk, egg and oil in separate bowl; add all at once to flour mixture. Stir just until moistened.
Pour about 1/4 cup batter onto preheated, lightly greased griddle or heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat about 2 minutes on each side, turning to cook second side when pancakes have a bubbly surface. Serve warm with whipped topping and strawberries, if desired.
Makes 8 to 10 pancakes.
