Default Bataan Memorial Death March

The 25th Annual Batann Memorial Death March will happen tomorrow - March 23, 2014 at White Sands Missile Range, NM. Our daughter, Emily will be participating for the third year in this 26.2 mile march through desert terrain, miles of sand, and elevation changes. It honors a special group of WWII heroes. Please keep these young people in your thoughts as well as those they honor.

Let's see them do it without food or water...like the originals did it!

Will pray for Em to make it safely and without incident.

Nice gesture. I have a disc narrated by a Death March survivor, before he died. Incredible story of what those people went through at the hands of their captors.
