Oldest Bataan Death March survivor, Ben Skardon, dead at 104
Fox News
Ben Skardon, the oldest American survivor of the Bataan Death March during World War II, has died this week at the age of 104.
The forced 65-mile march in April 1942, which happened in sweltering jungles of the Philippines following a surrender to Japanese troops, left an estimated 1,000 U.S. and 9,000 Filipino soldiers dead. Those who survived would spend the next three years in captivity in the Philippines or in Japanese POW camps, an experience that forged intense bonds among the men.
"If you knew about the sacrifices of those men in the prison camps, you would know I am the weak one. They brought me back, time and again, from death and they are so much of a part of my years in incarceration that I cannot ever forget them," Skardon told Fox News in 2017 before attending the annual Bataan Memorial Death March in New Mexico.
