NEW ORLEANS (OCT. 1987) - He was one of just a handful of defenders of a far Pacific isle, cut off from every chance of succor.
Edwin J. Borne - native New Orleanian, first Louisiana State Department commander for American Ex-Prisoners of War and former Marine Gunnery Sgt. with 30 years of service under his belt - knows well the ordeal of war. He was the first New Orleanian captured during World War II.
