Dru is standing on a monument erected to signify the men who fought, lived and died on Bloody Ridge. Unfortunately after the "episode" of 2007, any metal of value, like Brass Plaques, were removed, weapons confiscated (by the government) and destroyed, even if they were 70 year old rifles. So little existed today, and few, very few, actually know the stories about the war. I, at 62, was a very old man to them. Life expectancy was between 50 and 60. So with few exceptions, the stories, sites, memorbilia, are going away, back to the jungle. Behind Dru is the Airport, used today as both International and National flights, the runway built by the Japanese, extended by the Americans, got twice as long for current air travel. The exterior of the chain link fence is lined with squatters living without electricity or running water. The River is near by, and captured rain water is the source for most water drinking. Coconuts are shucked and the tops removed, and most locals live on coconut water (not milk) that is really quit good.
