Dr. Levy said, “Your services provided for veterans are very similar to those of Israeli veteran service mechanism. I earnestly hope that there will be more exchange of visits and interaction between our two organizations to enhance our friendly relationship and cooperation.”

The Taiwan WWII POW Memorial Society is the organizer of the remembrance service. A total of some 70 nationals from the related countries showed up in this event. Among them were BDR. George Reynolds, a 1942-45 UK POW in Taiwan, and relatives of SGT. William G. Anderson and L/CPL. Harold Brant, both imprisoned in Taiwan POW camps in 1942 by the Japanese troops.

George Reynolds was a big man over six feet tall, but at the end of his imprisonment, he weighed only 91 pounds.

AMCF was founded in 1930 and headquartered in Colorado, USA. Under the motto of “All one in Christ Jesus,” their members believe that “God is not impressed by military power or rank or economic wealth, or social station, or ecclesiastical position, or educational level, or magnificent buildings or beautiful cathedrals, or eloquent public prayers, or great conferences, or long pilgrimages. What God desires are men and women whose hearts are warm and responsive toward Him, and whose lives are living demonstrations of His respect for the value and dignity of every human life.”

The immediate past Minister Kao Hua-chu also expressed his sincere thanks for the kindness and friendship that all VAC¡¦s brotherhood organizations in other countries have extended to VAC during his term of 2 years and 8 months here.
