00:07.263 --> 00:10.013
(dramatic music)

00:16.116 --> 00:17.136
[Narrator] Marchers!

00:17.136 --> 00:19.053
^Give me your attention.

00:19.570 --> 00:20.987
^Here their cry...

00:22.052 --> 00:23.635
in their own words.

00:24.220 --> 00:27.720
"We are the battling bastards of the time.

00:28.047 --> 00:28.880
"No mama,

00:29.945 --> 00:30.778
"no papa,

00:32.193 --> 00:33.360
"no Uncle Sam,

00:34.494 --> 00:35.327
"no aunts,

00:36.265 --> 00:37.182
"no uncles,

00:38.322 --> 00:39.322
"no nephews,

00:40.682 --> 00:41.599
"no nieces.

00:42.930 --> 00:46.430
"No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces.

00:48.657 --> 00:50.824
"And nobody gives a damn."

00:52.033 --> 00:53.783
Let our cry be known:

00:54.618 --> 00:56.368
"We all give a damn."

00:59.128 --> 01:00.979
^- [Man] Everybody has a story, everybody is here

01:00.979 --> 01:03.729
^to do this march for some reason.

01:04.495 --> 01:07.415
As you do your march, for whatever that is,

01:07.415 --> 01:09.647
please always remember these survivors

01:09.647 --> 01:11.279
and those that have gone before us

01:11.279 --> 01:15.446
because if it wasn't for them we wouldn't be here today.

01:15.591 --> 01:17.341
- [Woman] For the last 28 years,

01:17.341 --> 01:20.029
thousands of participants travel across the country

01:20.029 --> 01:21.383
and the world to march through

01:21.383 --> 01:23.052
the unforgiving high dessert

01:23.052 --> 01:26.086
of White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico.

01:26.086 --> 01:27.620
Some march to prove to them selves

01:27.620 --> 01:29.988
and others that they are tough enough.

01:29.988 --> 01:32.023
Some march with their friends and team mates

01:32.023 --> 01:34.077
to build a stronger bond.

01:34.077 --> 01:36.013
Some may not have a definite reason,

01:36.013 --> 01:37.948
they just sign up and do it.

01:37.948 --> 01:39.524
Whatever the personal reason,

01:39.524 --> 01:42.420
everyone who attends and participates in this event

01:42.420 --> 01:44.373
is there with the same goal.

01:44.373 --> 01:46.165
To honor the thousands of Phillippene

01:46.165 --> 01:49.736
and American lives lost in the Bataan Death March.

01:49.736 --> 01:52.816
And to personally thank the eight remaining survivors

01:52.816 --> 01:56.458
who gave almost everything in the name of this country.

01:56.458 --> 01:58.106
The Bataan Memorial Death March

01:58.106 --> 02:00.773
is an event insuring every mama,

02:01.015 --> 02:03.682
every papa, and Uncle Sam

02:04.057 --> 02:06.474
never forgets the unimaginable suffering

02:06.474 --> 02:08.314
and countless sacrifices of the

02:08.314 --> 02:10.647
Battling Bastards of Bataan.
