2022 Bataan Memorial Death March

The 2022 Bataan Death March Memorial Ruck March took place on Camp Casey Sat., March 19. Despite the chilly temperatures and unseasonable snowfall, 247 Soldiers from units across the area came out to participate. Participants marched 9 miles with military-issued rucks weighing no less than 35 pounds.
The Bataan Death March took place April 9-17, 1942 when the Imperial Japanese Army forcibly marched 60,000-80,000 American and Filipino prisoners of war more than 60 miles following a three-month battle for Bataan during World War II. The march is held at Camp Casey annually to honor their memory and commemorate the sacrifice of those who died.

There is an equivalent for that. Yung mga civilian dati na mahihina, binubuhat ng iba gamit ang kawayan at tela. Same goes for the weak soldiers. Unfortunately, mainit sa mata ng mga sundalong hapon ang mga mahihinang sundalo non, kadalasan binabayoneta nalang o kaya naman ay dadalhin sa sulok at pupugutan. Meron ding mga nililibing ng buhay kapag di na nakasabay sa paggising ng karamihan sa pagod, gutom, at uhaw. Malaking miscalculation sa part ng mga Hapon ang bilang ng mga sundalong Pilipino at Amerikano non kaya't pabor sa kanila ang pagbaba ng bilang ng mga POW.
