"We're the battling b*stards of Bataan;
No mama, no papa, no Uncle Sam.
No aunts, no uncles, no cousins, no nieces,
No pills, no planes, no artillery pieces.
And nobody gives a damn.
Nobody gives a damn."

by Frank Hewlett 1942

This year is the 75th anniversary of the Battling B*stards of Bataan’s liberation from the Japanese forces. I considered myself blessed because I have the honor of knowing one of the remaining survivors. I marched for him and thinking about what he must have gone through helped me push myself to the end. I by no means was the fastest….but I reached my goal of finishing.
