Good job, Blakeslee.

My father has asked if I am ever going to do that event seeing as how his father was one of the survivors from the fall of Bataan. Granted, my grandfather lucked out (if you can call it that) and was jammed into one of the last vehicles before the Japanese began the remaining POWs on their horrific ordeal.

My problem is that 21+ years of jumping and doing road marches throughout my career in the RGR/SF thing has jacked my knees. Right now I'm not sure I could do that event even if I wanted to. Still, I probably should take a shot at it for the family someday.
