    A group of us reenactors served as color guards to kick off the reunion of Philippine Scouts, veterans of Bataan and the Death March. It was most humbling to be around these men.

    Wow, Thanks for posting these Pics, Anywhere. Those had to be some proud men.

    I enjoyed the video of the men and their wives dancing.
