A young boy shakes hands with a surviving service member of the
Bataan Death March as he starts the 2016 Bataan Memorial Death
March at White Sands Missile Range, N.M., on March 20, 2016. The
27th Annual 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. (Army
