Truly one of the best SpartanUp Podcasts ever done. Uncle Dan's life is an incredible story and lesson in human endurance, survival, brutality, and hope. A master class in what we now term "The Greatest Generation" as well as insights into the strength of selflessness. Remarkable story and person... I hope there is a Part II.
Attention! I found Dan Crowley's dog tag this week in a tunnel on Corregidor Island. I am hoping to get this tag back to his immediate family. Thank you!
HEROE! For over 3 years, this amazing fella went through an absolute hellacious experience, which no matter how much I try to picture myself going through the same thing , it’s impossible to even come close.
Really honored to share this story with the world, and grateful to my podcast team for making it happen. Thank Joe, Tim, Johnny, Lara, Sefra, Andrea and of course WIlbur, WIlbur and Mac!

He survived the Bataan Death March because he was never on it! And if you had listened to him, he told you that. Instead of lining up for the March, he jumped in the water at the port of Mariveles at the tip of Bataan. He waited until dark and with other hiding soldiers swam the 3 shark infested and mined waters to the fortress island of Corregidor. The night was filled with debris form exploding ships. He washed up on Corregidor, was met by the Marines guarding the shore. Their officer then pronounced him a Marine. And fought the next month with the Marines and was surrendered on Corregidor. In the spring of 2023, his dog tag with Marines stamped on it was found on Corregidor.
He lives well because he laughs and takes things less seriously. Just a reminder for us depressive millenials that cry about 13 likes in facebook....
Mr. Crowley mentioned that he suffered for years after his ordeal but time has healed some of his wounds.
Haha true after I watched this I stop complaining 🤣
lol
God bless you sir! You are a hero!!!!!!

Good guy.

I liked your photos.
Sadly, so many of these heroes are forgotten today. Long live their heroism! Think about this when you buy your Mitsubishi.

The interviewer almost ruins this.

To me, they look a lot alike just age difference. Even mannerism and way they hold their head. Maybe that's from being in the military though.
Now tell the american politicians to be serious on thier commitment to help our government, and not just using for your own benefits..
