Kenneth Salmon treasures his late father's WWII diary, which records the British Royal Artillery sergeant's capture by the Japanese army, the sinking of the Lisbon Maru ship, and his rescue by Chinese fishermen. 

"I wouldn't be here without them," says Salmon. He now works to connect descendants, honoring the rescuers' bravery and the profound gratitude born from that day in 1942. #LisbonMaru
