This is quite a story.
On March 20 of this year, 99 year old veteran Ben Skardon made his tenth annual march to remember his comrades in the Bataan Death March of WW2.

He feels he survived that horror by hiding a can of Carnation condensed milk in his pocket, which he'd sip in secret during the night. He carries a can of it on his walks today.
A good looking guy indeed. And one who remembers.
He's joined by thousands of others to remember that forced march of April 1942.
Memorial in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
Memorial Day is to remember what has happened, and who we've lost.
