From Execution to Excavation: AMAG’s Hopeful Recoveries in Mindanao
Episode 1: Daniel Boone of the Philippines: How General Fort’s Legacy Built AMAG’s Partnership with the Moro People

Welcome to the launch of our powerful new 4-episode mini-series: From Execution to Excavation: AMAG’s Hopeful Recoveries in Mindanao — the real-time story of courage, cross-cultural partnership, and the determined effort to finally bring home four American heroes missing for 80 years.

In Episode 1, we introduce you to Brigadier General Guy O. Fort — the only American-born general ever executed by the enemy in World War II. Known as the “Daniel Boone of the Philippines,” Fort spent four decades deeply embedded among the fiercely independent Moro people of Mindanao. His cultural respect and strategic brilliance helped seed a guerrilla resistance that the Japanese could never fully crush. When he defiantly refused their propaganda demands with the legendary words “You may get me, but you will never get the United States of America,” his execution was ordered — but his legacy created a bridge that is now helping bring him home.

This episode reveals how a 96-year-old eyewitness, a deliberately falsified Japanese map, and the unbreakable bond General Fort forged with the Moro people have corrected 80 years of official error — and directly launched AMAG’s historic partnership and ongoing recovery mission.

About AMAG
The Asymmetric MIA Accounting Group (AMAG) is a veteran-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by 25-year U.S. Army veteran and mortuary affairs specialist Mike Henshaw. As Chief of Investigative Research, I (John Bear) research historical records, develop partnerships, and support the AMAG recovery teams on areas of interest to locate, recover, and repatriate America’s missing service members. AMAG never charges families — every mission is 100% donor-funded.

The Historic Partnership & Recovery Mission
AMAG has formed an official partnership with the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), the Bangsamoro Commission for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, local leaders Robert and Ruh Alonto. Following a successful January 2026 reconnaissance mission, we are now preparing for the critical April 2026 deployment — using ground-penetrating radar and targeted excavations at the corrected execution and burial site near old Camp Keithley in Marawi.

This is full-circle justice in action: the descendants of the Moro warriors General Fort once armed and respected are now actively helping us recover him — along with Lt. Col. Robert Vesey, Capt. Albert Price, and 1st Sgt. John Chandler.

How You Can Help Bring Them Home
This mission is entirely donor-funded. Your support covers travel, ground-penetrating radar equipment, local coordination, security, witness support, and forensic operations in a complex environment.
