Remembering Corregidor
This summer, take a trip to Corregidor. Spend time to learn about our rich military history. Bring the kids with you. And inculcate in them the values of honor, courage, patriotism and love of country. Develop that sense of leadership and national pride in our youth. We must shape a more peaceful and secure future, and that can be achieved only if we have a full appreciation of the lessons of the past.
