Bridge On River Kwai Now Friendship Span
Former Japanese soldiers and Allied veterans walked the Bridge on the River Kwai in a gesture of friendship. Memories of the brutal jungle labor and deaths linger as they crossed the narrow span. Participants recalled POW suffering and the 1943 completion of the railroad to Burma, while some urged reconciliation and others refused to forget.
