Maurice (Moe) Mazer survived the Bataan Death March and Forced Labor in World War II. He was a sergeant in the U.S. Army’s First Air Warning Co. His observation post was bombed December 7, 1941 in the Pearl Harbor disaster. He was taken prisoner and survived the death march of 6 days (65 miles) as he saw other prisoners brutally murdered. He was a slave laborer in a Japanese copper mine and endured a 5 mile walk every day and a menu of rice and water. He sustained terrible injuries and was in and out of hospitals for the rest of his life. Because of the loving care of his wife Edith, he lived to be 88 years old. He was a much admired Post Commander of the Snyder Tokson Post 459 and was the National Chairman of the POW and other survival organizations. Post 459 mourns his loss.
