The Journey Home Commemorating the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Our Bataan Veterans

Join us for an evening of solemn remembrance and celebration, honoring the legacy and sacrifice of New Mexico’s Bataan POWs. We will share some first-hand accounts of their return home after years of captivity and share in a commemorative toast.
