Staff Sgt. Robert Hogeland weighs his rucksack prior to the start of the 25th Bataan Memorial Death March at White Sands Missile Range, N.M. March 23. More than 25 Army South Soldiers participated in the Bataan MDM. Open to military and civilian teams and individuals in either heavy or light divisions, the Bataan Memorial Death March honors a special group of World War II heroes who were captured by Japanese forces and marched for days in the scorching heat through the Philippine jungles in 1942. Thirteen World War II Bataan veterans were in attendance to watch the march. (U.S. Army photo by Robert R. Ramon, U.S. Army South Public Affairs)
