Vincente Lim IV, associate director of visitor services at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial, explains his personal connection with Philippine Army Brig. Gen. Vincente Lim to service members of the Balikatan 23 Joint Exercise Support Group during a tour at the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial in Manila, Philippines, April 30, 2023. Brig. Gen. Lim, Vincente Lim IV’s great-grandfather, was the first Filipino graduate of the U.S. Military Academy West Point, commanded the 41st Division, Philippine Army during the fall of Bataan during World War II, and is memorialized on the cemetery’s wall of the missing. The Balikatan 23 Joint Exercise Support Group visited the cemetery and memorial during a professional military education experience to learn about the Philippine-U.S. alliance following completion of the exercise. Over the last three weeks, more than 17,600 personnel trained shoulder-to-shoulder across the Philippines’ northern Luzon and Palawan, increasing proficiency in maritime security, amphibious operations, live-fire training, urban operation, aviation operations, counterterrorism, and humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
