The Battle for Corregidor was the culmination of the Japanese campaign for the conquest of the Philippines during World War II. Although Americans fought valiantly for five months, Lt. Gen. Jonathan Wainwright surrendered the island on May 5, 1942, hoping to spare more bloodshed. Retired Master Sgt. Donald L. Versaw, was one of the 1,437 Marines of the 4th Marine Regiment taken into captivity.
