| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "Rumors flew like rockets throughout the guerrilla camp. It was January 1945. The U. S. Sixth Army had landed! The Americans had returned to the Philippines as promised... Margaret Utinsky was the determined woman who risked her life again and again to save the lives of hundreds of prisoners of war. This was the woman, who, when her capture was a sure thing, made her way into the hills and served for two years under constant attack as the only medical help available to wounded resistance fighters. In 1946 a grateful nation presented Miss "U" with the Presidential Medal of Freedom. This is her story."
