Cpl. Luther Carter "Luke" Morgan
US Army 59th Coast Artillery Regiment
from:Covington, Georgia
Luke Morgan was part of the Bataan Death March and was held in Bilibad Prison.
After he was released and returned home, he married and had 3 children.
He suffered from horrible nightmares and was not the same person as he was when he enlisted.
Finally he could no longer bare the nightly terrors, especially when he tried to hurt his wife during one of his nightmares.
He ended his life and was greatly missed by family and friends.
No one could imagine or understand what atrocities Luke suffered from while in captivity.
He was a great man and served his country well.
