description: "Footprints in A Bataan Death March Surivor’s Story" tells the inspiring tale of Army Air Corpsman Alf Larson who endured the infamous Bataan Death March in World War II and then faced more than four years as a Japanese prisoner of war. "We were hot, thirsty, sick and exhausted to the point you couldn’t talk, couldn’t see, didn’t care. After a while everything just went blank in my mind; we were hardly conscious. "For six days I just put one foot in front of the other over and over and over again," Larson says of the agonizing trek that the world now calls the Bataan Death March and its 3,000 survivors (from an original 7,500 U.S. servicemen) simply call "the hike."
