Description

World War II, essentially the most significant event of the 20th century, touched New Mexico A&M and alumni. From the defense of Bataan and POW camps, and ‘up the ladder’ to the liberation of the Philippines and the give up of Japan, they were involved. As a Land Grant College, New Mexico A&M was once the one four-year educational institution in the state with an ROTC program. As a result of this, among the graduates commissioned as officers in the 1930s and early 40s participated in the Pacific Theater. Other attendees did not have a chance to graduate but served with distinction in all branches of the military. Many paid with their lives.

Hines has documented their stories with text and vintage photos. It is a unique view into the Pacific war and people who fought it. That is his tribute to those Aggies of the Pacific War.
