The reflection of an obelisk shines through the wall of names denoting the victims and survivors of the historic Bataan death march at the Capas National Shrine, Capas, Tarlac Province, Philippines. The shrine was erected to show the reverence to those World War II soldiers who were a part of the death march and to stand as a public awareness and education in the Tarlac province. An estimated 60,600 Filipinos and 9,900 Americans who marched from April 9-15, 1942 and the tens of thousands of prisoners of war who occupied nearby Camp O'Donnell and locations throughout Tarlac Province. The memorial features a needle-like tower consisting of three sections symbolizing the Filipino, American and Japanese people. The obelisk is the focal center of the entire shrine site which stands for peace. A regulatory signal atop the structure beacons, symbolizing the height of nationalistic aspiration of Filipinos towards peace and freedom. (U.S. Marine Corps photo/1st Lt. Garth M. Langley)
