The memorial death march is a 26.2 mile ruck march in the new mexico desert in honor of the 75,000 allied POWs who were forced to march for days on the Bataan Peninsula in the Phillipines to a prison camp by their Japanese captors.
Here's a link to the story I wrote for the Rocky Mountain Collegian about the 2011 death march - http://collegian.com/index.php/article/2011/03/cadets_memorialize_death_march...
Great Job guys. Love the Dropkick Murphys as well. :-)
