I am not a reader of books, but I bought yours. It is the first book I have ever read and I feel compelled to write you and give you a BIG THANK YOU  for all you have done for all of us.
S.D.

As a Sergeant Major I am really into military history. Once I started reading your book, I was hardly able to put it down until I was finished. Your experiences are a tribute to all soldiers who served before you, with you and who will serve after you.

I read your book in its entirety that day as I flew back to my home in Santa Clara, California. Your account of fighting in the Philippines and surviving as a prisoner and slave of the Japanese is truly inspirational.
     In particular, the last pages of your book have changed me for the better. Your account of how faith and forgiveness allowed you to regain your health and transcend your pain have shown me a path to healing old wounds in my own heart.

I read with great interest in your book, Hells Guest. Normally I avoid war stories but I thought yours was excellent.

I have read your book and wanted to say that it was one of the most touching stories I have ever had the pleasure of reading.

I just wanted to tell you briefly that your interviews in the Ken Burns documentary were informative, interesting and inspirational.  There's no way to repay you for all you endured in service to our country but I would still like to tell you what a hero you are to people like me who love our country.

Your story as a very young World War II soldier who had survived the infamous Bataan Death March and the enslavement under the Japanese for three and a half years is incredible!  It is a sterling example and tribute to your solid character and strong ever enduring faith.  You withstood the enemy's ruthless, depraved and barbaric punishments.  YOU ENDURED!  Your courage out-distanced the enemy's brutality by never giving up.  Your incarceration produced a stunning and revealing chronicle of the Japanese perverted sanity.  Their vicious cruelty.  This so notoriously marked their primitive monstrous character.  Triumph over tragedy!  Captivity then freedom!  Yet, your greatest victory came when your long embraced hatred for the enemy was finally subdued through FORGIVENESS!

I was delighted to meet you and interview you in White Sands.  Thank you so much for taking the time for me.  I will be posting our interview on my website in a few weeks.  But for now, I am writing an essay on the occasion of the 66th anniversary of the Bataan Death March.  I will mention your appearance in "The War" and your efforts to promote "forgiveness."

Sir, I just received your book as a present from my brother for my birthday.  Before even starting to read your book, I cannot even comprehend the horrors and brutality that you have seen and endured.  My best wishes and prayers go out to you and your family, and from one grateful American, a sincere "Thank You" for your service and commitment to the United States of America.

I taught English for over 35 years, and there are very few books that I can't put down after starting to read them.  I was so enthralled with your story that I just had to read from cover to cover... what a marvelous story of such strength and courage.

Colonel Frazier,  We were honored to visit with you at the Bataan Memorial Death March.  Thank you for sharing your experiences.  We have ordered a copy of your book and look forward to reading it.  We have requested a dedication from you to us via the website.  We look forward to seeing you at the next year's Bataan Memorial Death March.  Thank you for your service to our country.

I finished your book yesterday and was grateful that our paths crossed this past weekend.  I had stopped by on the spur of the moment to scout some shot for my project and was not aware that you would be there.  Your book moved me and at times found myself with tears in my eyes as you talked about your experiences.  It made me stop and think, as I often do, about the life you had in Japan.

I bought your book on the US Alabama.  I met your wife and you.  I read your book in one day.  I could not put it down.  I was in the Army 68-70.  It's people like you that makes the U.S. great.  Thank you.
B.F.

I met you in February at the USS Alabama Memorial and just recently finished reading your book.  I was engulfed with your story.  As I read, I looked forward to your release and wondered how you would get out of Japan.  What I didn't anticipate was the turmoil in your life after coming home.  Although it is not hard to understand.  What a shame that you and so many others like yourself had to have your lives turned inside-out for all of our freedom.  Thank you.  God surely gave you the strength to endure.

My son Blake Wilkins talked to you in the El Paso Airport after running the Bataan Death March.  He was so impressed with you, thank you for taking your time and sharing your story with him.  He will not stop talking about it.  I just ordered your book for him.  He said that weekend was life changing for him.  He is a college student in Texas A&M.

Colonel Frazier, I just finished your book.  What can I say?!? Your life journey has been remarkable.  The words "Thank You" seem so inadequate.  Tom Brokaw was...you and your fellow POW's represent the best from the "Greatest Generation".  
R.W., Indiana

This book was an example of heroism that all Americans should be aware of in remembering our brave veterans.  As a veteran of the Vietnam War and being the son of a 30 year career officer I truly recognize the importance of our military and especially the sacrifice made by both the veteran and families during conflicts such as WWII.  You and your fellow POWs are an example of the greatest generation in America that helped make this country great! I'm glad you told this story for many reasons but especially to remember you and others who deserve our greatest respect.

After reading the book over the course of the following week, I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed it and how your story gave me a greater appreciation for our service men, not to mention the fact that you have achieved peace through forgiveness.

I had the honor of meeting Colonel Glenn D. Frazier at the USS Alabama, and bought a coveted copy of his book. My husband and I read it on our journey home. As my husband drove, I read out loud. We love the book. I am such a fan of Colonel Frazier and his brilliant storytelling. When he stood before us, I knew what an honor it was... after reading his book I realize how much like us that he is. He was not a distant name on a memorial, and his glimpse into the humanity of being a POW is humbling. I am so happy to have bought the book and to know his story.

Dear Mr. Frazier,

This is Steve Hogan... we met at the Battleship Alabama about a month ago.
We spoke briefly, and when I bought your book you asked me to tell you what
I thought about it. 

Well, it's been about a month since I read it.  I wanted time to think about
it, so I could say something intelligent about it.  But, I'm still stunned
into silence, so this isn't the thoughtful letter I wanted to write, but
rather a first note to let you know I'm here thinking about it.

The very biggest thing I see is that after all this, you radiated good will
and humor when I met you.  That's why I read the book -  I wondered how you
could have gone through what you did and ended up someone I hope I will be
like when I'm your age.  The answer I found in the book was that it wasn't
easy, and it took a long time.  That has a ring of truth to it, of realism.
That's what I thought of the whole book, that it was all very real..  That
made it all the more shocking.  Your personal brand of honesty reminds me,
if you will excuse me, of my own, and so the reality of this was greater
than the "normal" war memoir.

That's it for now.  Really, I hardly know what to say.  It's just astounding
a regular American guy experienced this. 

Respectfully,

Steve Hogan
E.G.

Dear Col. Glenn D. Frazier,
