bataan death march

we are so connected to the death march is because about 1800 men from New Mexico were in the death march and only ruffly 900 returned. this was a great loss for such a small state. we are so connected to it because we want to respect and honor the dead and the survivors for enduring such hardships, trying to protect our country. the survivors are about 80-90 years old, and hod to face eating maggot with rice and mud, python, monkey, and slugs. they also had to deal with all kinds of different types of deasies, and torture from the Japanese and the 60 mile journey.
