The Bataan Memorial Death March is a challenging march through
the high desert terrain of White Sands Missile Range, conducted
in honor of the heroic service members who defended the Philippine
Islands during World War II, sacrificing their freedom, health
and, in many cases, their very lives.*

In Gratitude
Thanks to the Bataan Death March Veterans for their service to
our country. Their courage and sacrifice will not be forgotten.
Thanks to the U.S. Army and the White Sands Missile Range for
hosting the March. Thanks to the U.S. Border Guards for
watching over us. Thanks to the 1,200 volunteers and medical
personnel who cared for us and cheered us on in the hot desert
sun. Thanks to my wife Mary for joining me on this marathon
through the desert. Thanks to anyone I missed.
