Errett Lujan, a brave soldier, served during World War II with the U.S. Army 200th/515th Coast Artillery (Anti-aircraft) Regiment in the Philippines. When the Japanese invaded shortly after Pearl Harbor, the regiment was the largest on the islands. It holds the remarkable distinction of being the first and last unit to fire on the enemy before surrendering. Despite the overwhelming odds, Lujan survived the invasion, the treacherous Bataan Death March, and more than three years in POW camps.
After the war, Errett Lujan chose to keep his harrowing experiences to himself, sparing his family the details. However, his daughter, driven by a deep sense of respect and admiration for her father's courage, embarked on a mission to piece together his story. Through meticulous research, she combed through Lujan's diaries and letters, conducting original interviews with 200th/515th survivors and former POWs.
The result is a captivating narrative that sheds light on the experiences of a generation of soldiers who faced unimaginable hardships and bravery. Errett Lujan's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of love and dedication to preserve the memories of those who served.
In conclusion, Errett Lujan's story is a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers during World War II. Through the tireless efforts of his daughter, we have a glimpse into the lives of those who fought for our freedom and the resilience they displayed in the face of adversity.
