Beautiful memorial park, inside which is the Bataan Death March memorial. In the same park: the Vietnam monument is the most touching display of appreciation that I have ever seen to veterans. Made a bigger impact on me than the Vietnam Memorial in Washington DC. Plan for extra time in this serene park!
