Show your patriotism and pride for those who served during WW2. This hike will help you gain an understanding of the hardships our Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines endured.
After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, they also invaded Luzon, Philippines in January. American and Filipino troops fought bravely for three months, but eventually surrendered and were forced into the Bataan Death March with some of the most horrific war crimes of WWII.
60,000-80,000 Filipino and American POW’s (Prisoners of War) were force marched for 65 miles under the harshest conditions imaginable. They marched through tropical conditions, enduring heat, humidity, and rain without proper medical care. The Bataan Death March has a devastating legacy and should never be forgotten.
We march to honor those brave men and women who endured so much for our nations cause.
Join us on March 28, 2026 as the San Marcos High School Air Force JROTC march from San Marcos High School to VFW Post 3413 in commemoration of the notorious Bataan March.
Participants will march from San Marcos High School, AFJROTC Cadet Wing to the VFW Post #3413. March will be approximately 15 Miles in distance. Participants may march in the "Light Division" or in the "Ruck Division." Ruck Division participants must carry at least 10-15lbs of CANNED GOODS for the duration of the march. (Please No Rocks, Bricks, etc.) All rucksacks will be inspected and weighed prior to the start of the march. Canned goods will be donated at the end to the Veteran Support Activity at VFW Post #3413.
