SIAP but I haven't seen this on Texags. Person who is organizing this says he has only received 3 flags (one set) but would like to gather multiple sets before sending.

This is posted on the TAMU Former Students FB page:

My brother recently went on Corregidor Island tour in Phillipines & sent this…
"The tour guide told us there was 20 Aggies who died in this battle as the japenese bombed and fought the island for 6 months. He knew I was from Texas, and we were talking on the side. When we got to the monument constructed , he apoligized for no flags. He said the old flags just faded and tore and they had to take them down, and they do not have the funds or sources for the flags. I said , I will get you some flags, what flags? He said the ATM flag and a Texas flag.
I thought if I was an Aggie what great pride to have from the Alumini to get them flags for present and future. I don't know if you have any contacts that could help?"
Anyone know how I could make this happen?

My grandfather was a Brigadier General in the Philippine resistance. Got captured 3 separate times, but escaped all 3 times. Convinced the Japanese that he was a Japanese spy (he was 1/4 Caucasian, 3/4 Filipino). Is in a couple of books. Taught guerilla tactics to the US army in the 50's. I wish I knew more details.
