I have a friend at Virginia Beach who has her father's diary from WWII
and believes it should be preserved and published. He was an officer in
the Army Air Corps, captured with the fall of Bataan and Corregidor, and
spent the rest of his life as a POW. He was the senior officer in camp.
He died, but his fellow POWs brought the diary back.

As you may guess the pages are getting old and brittle, so if anything
is to be done with the diary, it probably should be done in the next few
years.

Is there any organization in Virginia, the U.S. Army, or anyplace else
who is interested in gathering such documents, with an eye toward
preserving and/or printing them?
