- 61 - The Radio Man and the Teacher — Pt 2 The Guerrilla of Baroy
Show Notes
The Radio Man and the Teacher
A Stories of Sacrifice episode
In this episode we return to the story of 1st Lt. Roy E. Welbon — not only as the lost guerrilla of Baroy, but as a husband. Through newly uncovered documents from the MacArthur Memorial Archives and the powerful 1990 oral history of his wife, Helen Haladay Welbon, we step into the quiet life they built together in Butuan and the choices that war forced upon them.
Listeners will hear how a maritime radio operator and a Red Cross teacher created a home on the plaza across from the royal palms, how Helen followed Roy into the jungle, and how, in November 1943, he insisted she leave on the submarine USS Narwhal while he remained behind. We also examine the newly obtained evidence — including Col. Fertig’s casualty report and his radio message to General MacArthur — confirming that after Roy was killed, his comrades recovered his body and buried him with full military honors beneath a small white cross on the plaza in Baroy.
This is a story of ordinary love tested by extraordinary times, and of the unfinished work still required to bring one American home.

Baron 52: What the U.S. Intelligence Community Knew — and When
Baron 52 (REFNO 1983)
Date: August 2026Three months after Baron 52 went down, the Defense Intelligence Agency and the Pentagon’s senior civilian official for POW/MIA affairs still treated the survival of the crew as an open analytical question.
A year later, language about four Americans believed captured in Laos reached the President of the United States.
In this episode we examine the American intelligence record that has long sat alongside the intercept — what U.S. agencies documented in 1973 and 1974, and what later investigative reporting added.
Drawing on the new U.S. Intelligence Community Reporting and Correlations Addendum, we walk through:
The May 1973 DIA assessment involving Dr. Roger Shields and the Berbrich memorandumCIA order-of-battle reporting that independently tracked the 210th AAA Regiment and the formation of the 377th Air Defense DivisionThe personnel correlation of Lt. Col. Lương Khánh VănCommunications architecture, the Vinh Window, and the firsthand account from a former RC-135 Combat Apple linguistResidual-prisoner assessments that reached the presidential level in May and June 1974Binh Tram 35/36 order of battle and the Brashear case (REFNO 1437) as documented prisoner handlingThe continuing oral-history gap: no Baron 52-specific interviews have ever been conducted with PAVN veterans of these same unitsThe episode maintains a careful analytical standard — distinguishing what the documents explicitly state, what can be reasonably correlated, and what remains open.

https://www.storiesofsacrifice.org/blog/baron52/Sun, 02 Aug 2026 - 40min - 59 - From 44 to 93 — Group 210, Mr. Van, and the Baron 52 Intercept
On the night of 5 February 1973, just nine days after the Paris Peace Accords were signed, an NSA intercept reported that Group 210 was holding four “pirates” and moving them from kilometer location 44 to kilometer location 93 under the control of “Mr. Van,” while experiencing difficulties along the road.
In this episode we examine the full body of evidence now surrounding that intercept. We identify Group 210 as the 210th Anti-Aircraft Artillery Regiment, reinforced into the Division 471 sector during the 1972–73 dry season. We identify “Mr. Van” as Lieutenant Colonel Lương Khánh Vân, Political Officer of the 377th Air Defense Division and the officer responsible for POW handling in that sector. We show why kilometer location 44 correlates to the Tang Cat area under Binh Tram 35 control — the same sector where Baron 52 crashed — and why new testimony from a Binh Tram 35 truck driver who recalled operating from kilometer location 94 strengthens the intercept’s terminal point.
We also examine the consistent PAVN use of the terms “pirates,” “pirate pilots,” and “pilots” as standard slang for U.S. aircrew in the southern Laos corridor, and we explain the Vinh Window communications architecture that caused southern Laos traffic to appear in NSA collection with Vinh-area indicators. The 1971 Jack Butcher case is referenced as historical proof that the same collection system successfully tracked an American airman moving through the southern Laos Binh Tram network.
Taken together, the evidence supports a high-probability reading that the four back-end crew members of Baron 52 — Sgt. Dale Brandenburg, Sgt. Peter R. Cressman, Sgt. Joseph A. Matejov, and SSgt. Todd M. Melton — survived the crash, were captured, and were moved alive through the Binh Tram 35 / Division 471 logistics network.

Wed, 15 Jul 2026 - 38min - 57 - The Evidence - Gold Star Families Appeal to Under Secretary Anthony J. Tata
In this special episode, we present a formal appeal to Under Secretary of War Anthony J. Tata, whose responsibilities include oversight of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency and related POW/MIA policy matters.
We examine significant new evidence that has emerged since the 2016 DPAA review of the Baron 52 incident (REFNO 1983). This includes previously unavailable Vietnamese primary sources from the PAVN 471st Division and detailed analysis of declassified U.S. SIGINT. This evidence indicates that reported activity involving four U.S. personnel occurred within the Binh Tram 35 sector along Route 128 — the location of the Baron 52 crash site — a context that was not fully examined in prior assessments.
We also address the limitations of the 2016 review, questions surrounding the 1992–1993 excavation, and DPAA’s current position that it will not revisit resolved cases. This episode is intended to provide Under Secretary Tata and his staff with a clear, documented basis for directing a formal technical review of the Baron 52 case.
Key Topics Covered:

#SecrataryOfWar #GoldStarFamilyRequest #POWMIA #Baron52Sun, 05 Jul 2026 - 35min - 56 - History Repeats: One Family’s 1745 Frontier Captivity Echoes in a WWII General’s 1942 Execution
In this gripping episode, Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group Chief of Investigative Research John Bear reveals one of the most haunting “full circle” stories in American history.
On November 27, 1745, during King George’s War, a French and Native force raided Old Saratoga, New York. Young Jacob Fort watched his father Abraham “Abram” Fort and uncle Capt. Johannes Fort taken prisoner, marched north through brutal winter conditions, and ultimately die in a Quebec military prison. Their bodies were never returned—left in unmarked graves near the Hôpital-Général cemetery.
Two hundred and eighty-one years later, in 1942, Brigadier General Guy O. Fort—direct descendant of that same paternal line—faced an eerily parallel fate on the opposite side of the world. A career soldier who grew up near Saratoga County and almost certainly knew the ancestral stories of capture and loss, General Fort commanded the 81st Philippine Infantry Division on Mindanao. After surrendering under protest, he was interned at Camp Keithley. When ordered to betray the Moro people he had served for four decades, he refused and was executed by firing squad. His remains were buried in an isolated grave, never recovered.
Through forensic genetic genealogy, exhaustive paper trails, and General Fort’s own diaries, the unbreakable connection between the 1745 Saratoga captives and the WWII general is now confirmed. History repeated itself in the most profound way within a single family.
As AMAG prepares its June 2026 humanitarian recovery mission at historic Camp Keithley, this episode explores resilience, sacrifice, and the long arc of remembrance.

On this solemn Memorial Day, we remember the thousands of American heroes who still lie unknown — some beneath the white crosses of our national cemeteries, others still lost on the battlefields of the past, like Brigadier General Guy O. Fort.
In 1935, General Fort stood at Camp Keithley cemetery in Marawi and delivered a heartfelt Memorial Day address, pleading for the identification of fallen soldiers whose records were lost and whose names had been forgotten. Just seven years later, he and three fellow officers — Lt. Col. Robert H. Vesey, Capt. Albert H. Price, and 1st Sgt. John L. Chandler — were executed by Japanese forces at that very same place. All four remain Missing in Action, buried in shallow, unmarked graves.
Today, the Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group (AMAG) is leading an independent, self-funded mission in Mindanao to locate General Fort and the Keithley Three so they can finally receive their names and the honorable burial they earned.
This powerful episode explores Fort’s own words — “He was a soldier” — the heartbreaking irony of his fate, and the revolutionary promise of Forensic Investigative Genetic Genealogy (FIGG). We highlight how private labs, like Bode Technology, are already identifying WWII remains — such as those of Arthur H. Kelder from the Cabanatuan POW camp — in just months, even from old formaldehyde-treated bones.
As Fort himself once pleaded for the unknown, his voice still calls us home. It’s time for the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) and AFDIL to fully embrace DNA-first, FIGG-led methods so no more families wait generations to know their loved one’s final resting place.
He was a soldier.
And no American soldier — or family — should have to wait any longer.⏳ It's About Time 🇺🇸

Fri, 22 May 2026 - 34min - 54 - The Baron 52 Enigma: Division 471 Memoirs – Vietnamese Veterans Confirm the Capture Corridor
In The Baron 52 Enigma Part 3, we uncover the most powerful evidence yet in the decades-long search for the four missing back-end crew members of Baron 52.
Building on Parts 1 and 2 — where we examined the survivable crash and the NSA intercepts that reported four “pirates” captured by Group 210 — this episode introduces two explosive primary Vietnamese sources:
Two independent memoirs written by veterans of Division 471 Trường Sơn, the exact PAVN command responsible for the Baron 52 crash corridor in southern Laos during the 1972–73 dry season.
Hoàng Sĩ Khiêm (Signals Battalion 446) and Nguyen Hoang (CCB471) both describe Binh Tram 35 as the main logistics hub on Route 128, the division command post at Phù Trường–Keng Nhang, Commander Nguyễn Lạn, and the massive reinforcement of anti-aircraft units — including the 210th AAA Regiment.Most remarkably, Hoàng Sĩ Khiêm details the central “Tổng đài Chín ngàn / 9000” switchboard — operated 24/7 by 12 named female soldiers — the exact communications node through which any shootdown report or prisoner transfer order on February 5, 1973 would have passed.
We also examine the official 1999 Vietnamese military schematic that visually confirms the “9000” node right where the memoirs place it.
These firsthand Vietnamese accounts directly answer the geographic and unit-attribution objections long used by the DPAA — even the February 2026 DPAA letter to Senator Barrasso does not address them.
For the first time, we are hearing directly from the other side’s own people, in their own words, confirming the precise location, units, and chain of command involved in the Baron 52 incident.
If you care about the fullest possible accounting for America’s missing from Vietnam, this episode is essential listening.

Sun, 10 May 2026 - 18min - 53 - We Are Here To Save You - Japanese Propaganda in the Execution of General Fort
On November 19, 1942 — exactly eight days after Brigadier General Guy O. Fort was executed by Japanese forces at Camp Keithley — Seiji Koga sat down and wrote a calm, polite handwritten letter to Moro guerrilla leader Datu Busran Kalaw.
In it, Koga claimed he could not arrange a meeting with the still-living General Fort due to “strict rules and regulations concerning prisoners of war.”
What Koga didn’t say was that Fort had already been killed after refusing to order the very Moro fighters he had personally empowered to keep fighting to surrender.
Through the explosive declassified documents in file NND 883078 — including the full correspondence, battle reports, and casualty records — this episode uncovers the full story: the desperate Japanese propaganda campaign, Datu Busran Kalaw’s fearless defiance, the ferocious Fighting Bolo Battalion victories that made Lanao ungovernable, the Talagian atrocity, the Battle of Tamparan where 178 Japanese soldiers were killed in under two hours, and the chilling deception that continued even after Fort’s death.
A powerful, previously untold chapter of Moro resistance and one of the most damning pieces of evidence in the ongoing search for General Fort’s remains.

Episode Summary
In July 1942 at Camp Keithley in Mindanao, Lt. Col. Robert H. Vesey made an extraordinary choice that would define his legacy. When Brig. Gen. Guy O. Fort was selected for execution, Vesey stepped forward and volunteered to take his place. What followed was two hours of unimaginable suffering under Japanese bayonets—yet Vesey’s sacrifice saved Fort’s life and preserved critical alliances with Moro guerrillas.In this powerful episode, we dive deep into Vesey’s story: his West Point background, leadership during the desperate defense of Lake Lanao, and the harrowing moment captured forever in 12-year-old POW Ben Hagans’ eyewitness testimony. We also make the clear case for why Vesey’s actions deserve the Medal of Honor.

Tue, 24 Mar 2026 - 26min - 51 - Daniel Boone of the Philippines: How General Fort’s Legacy Built AMAG’s Partnership with the Moro People
From Execution to Excavation: AMAG’s Hopeful Recoveries in Mindanao
Episode 1: Daniel Boone of the Philippines: How General Fort’s Legacy Built AMAG’s Partnership with the Moro PeopleWelcome to the launch of our powerful new 4-episode mini-series: From Execution to Excavation: AMAG’s Hopeful Recoveries in Mindanao — the real-time story of courage, cross-cultural partnership, and the determined effort to finally bring home four American heroes missing for 80 years.
In Episode 1, we introduce you to Brigadier General Guy O. Fort — the only American-born general ever executed by the enemy in World War II. Known as the “Daniel Boone of the Philippines,” Fort spent four decades deeply embedded among the fiercely independent Moro people of Mindanao. His cultural respect and strategic brilliance helped seed a guerrilla resistance that the Japanese could never fully crush. When he defiantly refused their propaganda demands with the legendary words “You may get me, but you will never get the United States of America,” his execution was ordered — but his legacy created a bridge that is now helping bring him home.
This episode reveals how a 96-year-old eyewitness, a deliberately falsified Japanese map, and the unbreakable bond General Fort forged with the Moro people have corrected 80 years of official error — and directly launched AMAG’s historic partnership and ongoing recovery mission.

*Disclaimer* The content of this episode is AI-generated based strictly on our provided source documents in the possession of the Matejov family and the Baron 52 research team. Direct all comments to StoriesOfSacrifice@protonmail.com
In this riveting episode of Stories of Sacrifice: The Baron 52 MIA Mystery, titled “The Baron 52 Enigma: Captured in Laos – Signals of Survival But Buried by Bureaucracy,” we unravel the haunting 1973 shootdown of a U.S. Air Force EC-47Q spy plane over Laos, just days after the Paris Peace Accords promised an end to the Vietnam War. Through a chronological deep dive, hosts explore the mission’s fateful night, the crash’s immediate aftermath—including SAR efforts observing only partial remains of the flight crew (with recovery of the torso of Lt. Bernhardt and the never before told femur from the of a second crewmen located in the middle of the cockpit), and the rapid KIA designation that left families reeling. We spotlight the families 50-year emotional battle for truth, from congressional advocacy with Sen. Bob Smith to frustrations with bureaucratic stonewalling.
At the heart of the episode is lead researcher John Bear’s groundbreaking work: decoding declassified NSA intercepts (REFNO 1983) hinting at the capture of four “pirates,” bolstered by NSA correlation studies tying them directly to Baron 52. Bear breaks down the Vinh Window SIGINT program, explaining how PAVN relays from southern Laos funneled signals to Vinh hubs for RC-135 interception—aligning with the 5.5-hour post-crash timeline. We map the PAVN order of battle, from Group 210 (210th AAA Regiment) and the 377th Air Defense Division to the 471st Division and Binh Tram 35 HQ at Tang Cat (Km 48), pinpointing its proximity to the crash site and Km 44 in the intercepts, raising survival odds to very high.
The episode pulls no punches on dismissals: critiquing DIA analyst Robert Destatte’s linguistic ambiguities, DPAA contractor Guy Bentz’s 2016 review flaws (e.g., incorrect AOR, ignored correlations and forensics like buried revolvers implying egress), and DPAA’s resource excuses. Insights from interviews with Dr. Roger Shields, Sen. Bob Smith, and Lt. Col. Lionel Blau, plus recent media coverage, reveal systemic failures. We conclude with calls for renewed probes, VNOSMP veteran interviews, and honoring the unfulfilled 1996 Wold pledge—because the truth can’t stay buried forever.

Fri, 03 Mar 2023 - 1h 25min - 41 - Sgt Joseph A. Matejov - The Baron 52 Story
Sgt Joseph A. Matejov joined the U.S. Air Force from New York and was a member of the 6994th Security Squadron. On 5 February 1973, he was a crew member aboard an EC-47Q (serial number 43-48636) call sign "Baron 52" on a night reconnaissance mission over Saravane Province, Laos. Baron 52 was the EC-47 was carrying eight crew members that was shot down over Laos during the predawn hours of 5 February 1973, a week after the Paris Peace Accords officially ended the United States involvement in the Vietnam War. The remains of four crewmen were recovered from the crash site, but those of the remaining four have never been found. Although the U.S. government considers them to have been killed in action and as late as 1996 listed them as "accounted for", family members and POW/MIA advocates believe the four survived the crash. The incident has been featured on several nationwide news programs and a 1991 episode of the U.S. television series Unsolved Mysteries.

Sat, 19 Feb 2022 - 2h 08min - 38 - USS Pueblo Incident with Ex-POW John Mitchell - Stories Of Sacrifice
Interview with US Navy veteran and former Cold War POW John Mitchell who was captured on the USS Pueblo in 1968 and held Prisoner of War in North Korea for 11 months along with 81 other shipmates. The USS Pueblo (AGER-2) is a Banner-class environmental research ship, attached to Navy intelligence as a spy ship, which was attacked and captured by North Korean forces on 23 January 1968, in what was later known as the "Pueblo incident" or alternatively, as the "Pueblo crisis". The seizure of the U.S. Navy ship and her total 83 crew members, one of whom was killed in the attack, came less than a week after President Lyndon B. Johnson's State of the Union address to the United States Congress, a week before the start of the Tet Offensive in South Vietnam during the Vietnam War and three days after 31 men of North Korea's KPA Unit 124 had crossed the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) and killed 26 South Koreans in an attempt to attack the South Korean Blue House (executive mansion) in the capital Seoul. The taking of Pueblo and the abuse and torture of her crew during the subsequent eleven months became a major Cold War incident, raising tensions between western and eastern powers. The Pueblo is still being held by NK and used as a propaganda museum at Pyongyang, NK. I'm looking forward to talking to John about his experience being held by NK and hear his story of the brutal torture he and his shipmates suffered at the hands of their captors.

Bob Dumas 3/9/30 - 2/6/21
The POW/MIA community lost one of it’s most fervent activists last week. Bob Dumas dedicated his life to finding his brother, Roger, and in the process became a leader in the search of all American prisoners-of-war and the missing-in-action. His journey would lead to a White House meeting with Ronald Reagan and a very long contentious dialogue with the President’s National Security Advisor, Admiral James “Budd” Nance, which ultimately resulted in, as reported by Dan Rather on the CBS Evening News, Bob’s $200M lawsuit against the President.
Please sign the petition below in Bob's honor and help bring our POW/MIA's home!

https://homedepot.sjv.io/SOSPodcastSun, 14 Feb 2021 - 07min - 26 - Stories of Sacrifice - SGT Durrell Tidwell Coming Home EP 25
The podcast you are about to hear was a previous interview I did with the niece of SGT Durrell Tidwell early last year.
We wanted to update the podcast about Durrell because we are happy to now say the Unknown graves at the Manila American Cemetery that are associated with his remains and the 18 others who were originally buried along with him at the Cabanatuan POW camp cemetery in Common Grave 212 has received a disinterment authorization from the Department of Defense.
What this means is our forensic genealogy research and making contact with the descendants of the other POW/MIAs who were originally buried together in CG 212, their families have provided their FRS DNA to the DPAA and the remains transferred to the DPAA Lab to be identified and sent home to their family for burial under a grave marker that has their name.
This process can take a few years to accomplish but the families of Cabanatuan common grave 212 now have closure!
I cannot wait to welcome SGT Tidwell home to his family hopefully later this year! Please sit back and enjoy this rebroadcast of SGT Tidwell’s Story of Sacrifice we did with his niece Elizabeth!
