The Bataan Memorial Death March - First Friday Event - FEB 5 at 7pm
First Friday Program
The Bataan Memorial Death March
February 5, 2016 at 7:00pm
The Bataan Memorial Death March is an annual commemoration of the Bataan Death March attended by many of the survivors of the march, along with thousands of supporters from around the world, held at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. Held annually since 1990, this is a full marathon, with a 15 mi (24 km) run for those who do not wish to run the full course, covering paved road and sandy trails. It is regarded by Marathon Guide as one of the top 30 marathons in the U.S. The memorial march is a tribute to the 1,800 Bataan prisoners who were from New Mexico. After the men were liberated in 1945, only 900 returned to the state. A third of those died from disease, drink, or suicide within a few years.
Mike Bilbo and his wife Barbara live in a house located on the site of Ft. Stanton, and he is active in living history with the Fort Stanton Garrison organization. He has completed the 26.2-mile Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range numerous times, including in the 1858 woolen Army uniform he wore to the museum presentation.
Join us for an informative and interesting evening.
Refreshments will follow the presentation.
