Those in Bataan Death March, Are They Heroes?


Bataan Death March Route

Let's recollect the suffering of those nearly 80,000 starving, disease-stricken Filipino and allied soldiers who surrendered to the Japanese Imperial Army in Bataan, and those prisoner of war who were forced to hike the 90-mile (140 km) from Bataan to Camp O'Donnell in Capas, Tarlac 70 years ago.

In his own historical account of the Fall of Bataan and the Death March during the "Araw ng Kagitingan", Edgar Siscar of ETCETERA refreshes our mind of the real suffering  and the terrible, death-defying ordeal of the Filipino, Chinese-Filipino and American soldiers during the World Ward II in 1942.
