Legacy of Valor: A Family’s Stand on Corregidor

Left Behind: When America Surrendered WW2

Oct 30 2023 • 43 mins

In the early days of World War II, Vicente and Marcos Mocorro -- father and son – together defended Corregidor Island from Japanese attacks, while enduring the enemy’s debilitating bombing runs on an island under siege.

But, when the inevitable happened and they were captured by enemy forces, they were separated. One became a guerilla fighter, continuing the fighting against his country’s invaders.

Years after the war, they were again reunited in the most unlikely of places.

You’ll find images and maps about the Mocorro's story at:
