The Battling Bastards of Bataan. It's a website that represents a fast fading assortment of troops that fought the delaying action on Bataan at the beginning of the US involvement in WWII. These guys fought as long as they could and ended up on the Death March after the US government wrote them off. The 31st Regiment was wiped out and the soldiers killed, or captured for the death march. The Polar Bear part of the ikon next to my handle was the crest of the 31st Regiment.
Take a look around this site a little. These are men worth remembering.

"We're the Battling Bastards of Bataan,
No mama, no papa, no Uncle Sam,
No aunts, no uncles, no cousins, no nieces,
No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces,
And nobody gives a damn!"
by Frank Hewlett, 1942.
