Examples of bataan in a Sentence

1. Lyn Rolf III:

   It is particularly significant this year because very few people actually know the story of Bataan and being the 75th anniversary, there are very few survivors left to tell the story. This could be one of the last times that the community can honor these men and recognize their bravery.

2. Julie Wojtko -RRB- Saenz:

   I didnt go out on Sunday for people to say thank you or to honk at me or for my own self-recognition because that defeats the whole purpose of what the Bataan March [represents], people always say theyre never forgotten but I like to put action into those words because it brings more meaning to me.
