"After experiencing the dark evil of war, Jesus Rabano decided to love life.

Rabano, a retired Army master sergeant, died Sunday and was buried Thursday. He was 94.

Rabano survived the Bataan Death March, one of the worst atrocities in World War II. His wife, Florinda, said he became a happy person.

"He loved life," she said. "Wherever we go, he befriends everybody.".........."

&

".......Rabano, who was in the famous Filipino Scouts unit, was released from a prisoner-of-war camp when the Philippines were liberated in 1943. He later served in the Korean and Vietnam wars.

Mrs. Rabano said her husband served in Fort Bragg's 20th Engineer Battalion and helped build a bridge that was the longest in Vietnam at the time.

"He was so proud of his military service," she said............"
