Featured WWII American POW Letters Found Behind An Old Photo Frame-American Civilian Captured By The Japanese

I thought so too. The only letter that seemed to really convey his own words were when he was talking about how much he longed to be home again and would give anything just to be back again. He also longed to go fishing and have venison again. If you notice he kept repeating how kind the Japanese were to let him write to them. Makes me sad to think how much more he wanted to tell them what was really going on and never got to.

 

Thank you! I am hoping I can find someone in his family that would really be interested in seeing this stuff. I feel that I was drawn to his picture for some really strange reason that I can't explain. It was as if Charles Austin Moe himself was beckoning to me to share his story with the world.

He was a black belt in judo and he is featured in a book about that subject matter.

OMG! Sorry for shouting but THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I am looking at all this right now. Maybe I can get in touch with Bryan's son. Being that he is a social studies teacher, this may mean a lot to him. The pictures you put here are blowing me away! I am so happy! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

 

It is TOTALLY my pleasure! I love searching for clues and helping solve mysteries. Your compassion for this project got me very inspired to do what I could to help you. It is amazing that Charles found you so you could help his family find him.

And it was so interesting to find so many of his family members serving or having served in the military!

 

Here is a picture of Thor.

 

Thanks so much for becoming passionate about this too. For some weird reason I feel fiercely protective of Charles and feel a great need to get his story out there. Even weirder, I feel like I knew him and have taken him under my wing as if he were one of my own family members.

Excuse my language, but Thor looks so badass! I think he is cool and I don't even know him. It seems Charles has a lot of patriots in his family. I saw Thor's facebook page and I am so proud of what he's accomplished. If I am able to get in touch with him I can't wait to thank him for his service to our country.

 

Cross your fingers for me guys. I contacted Thor through Facebook just now. Hopefully he will come here and talk to us all.

 

Hi
this is thor borjesson. This is kind of weird because I am talking to a lady, Flipper, about this. I will look on Facebook to see what is there.

 

Hold on one minute......



@SYNCHRONCITY

 

Hi synchronicity. Please feel free to contact me.

 

Hey Thor......ya look a little old for 19 !!!

And while respecting your privacy is an important manner...........
can you see how hungry we are for current family members to find this..????

 

See SYNC.......I told u , that your own thread on this would get results !!!!
It takes a Village !!

Now.........what's Thor up to ????

 

Please say something SYNC....I am on the phone with him!

 

Umm, what would you guys like to know? I have other letters from my great Uncle, and some other stuff.

 

So, Thor wrote to SYNC through her personal inbox and he left his email address. He has to get off the phone now. He's looking forward to hearing from SYNC and he will visit again.

The Facebook message did not go through for some reason, so I "let my fingers do the walking", and just called him for you.
