- History
In mid-January 1942, two heroes proved themselves on Bataan’s battlefields.
One was a young man, fighting for duty and honor. The other was middle aged, fighting for his homeland and family.
Both would face awful circumstances. Both would make self-sacrificing choices.
And both would become national heroes … during those early, dark days of the war.
This is the story of Narciso Ortilano and Alexander Nininger, the first Medal of Honor recipient in WW2.
