Missing for 80 Years—The Search for American Heroes Left Behind on Bataan

May 26 2023 • 51 mins

In January 1942, two young American officers – Alexander Nininger and Ira Cheaney – died in battle on the Bataan Peninsula.

Because … of a rush to judgement, a potential Army coverup, and an inconvenient secret.

This Memorial Day, discover the search for the WW2 servicemen still missing on Bataan.
