American casualty figures

Where exactly did you find that American losses were that high? Can you post a scource for this becuase in nearly all articles, sites, and military documents on the subject, state that American losses were 2 killed and 9 wounded. So untill you can come up with proof that the casulaties are that high, I'm going to change it back to it's original figures.—Preceding unsigned comment added by JOEFIXIT (talk • contribs)

Submit the article to the guild of copywriters as it can be difficult to read at times.
Images of the commanding officers is nice addition to the article.
Shrink the size of the map as it is quite domineering over other images of the article.
Make sure to have the introduction grow if more information is added to the article to keep it properly summarizing.

Gregorio Del Pilar's Letter

There would had been a cased that this was the words that war written...according to its english translation:

"The General has given me the pick of all the men that can be spared and ordered me to defend the Pass. I realize what a terrible task has been given me. And yet I feel that this is the most glorious moment of my life. What I do is done for my beloved country. No sacrifice can be too great.”

“The General has given me a Platoon of available men and has ordered me to defend this Pass. I am aware what a difficult task has been given me. Nevertheless, I feel that this is the most glorious moment of my life. I am doing everything for my beloved country. There is no greater sacrifice.”

The question is would there be any sources regarding to its original text in Tagalog/Filipino languages... to give or to delivered the real words of the boy general?! after his fall. FilBox101 (talk) 15:00, 10 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
