WE TRAVELED JUST AN HOUR NORTH OF OUR HOUSE TO CABANATUAN. WE TAKE MY MOM TO SEE THE WWII MEMORIAL THERE. THIS MEMORIAL MARK THE POW CAMP THAT THE JAPANESE HOLD SOLDIERS OF WAR. THIS IS THE STARTING POINT OF THE DEATH MARCH. THE JAPANESE MARCH SOLDIERS FROM THIS CAMP SOUTH OF MANILA. TODAY AT TAKES US ABOUT FOUR AND HALF HOUR  TO DRIVE THAT DISTANCE THAT THIS BRAVE MEN WALK.

THE MEMORIAL HAS TWO BIG WALLS THAT ARE ENGRAVED WITH THE SOLDIERS NAMES. THERE WAS MOSTLY ARMY BUT THERE WERE SOME NAVY MEN.
