<em>Cannon Air Force Base is the home of the 27th Special Operations Group. During WWII, many of the men from the forerunner to this group, the 27th Bombardment Group, became victims of the Bataan Death March.</em>
After the Bataan Peninsula Battle on April 9, 1942, US Army troops and Filipino troops survivors were forced to march 65 miles to prison camps. After the victory of the Japanese Army, prisoners had to endure the long road to prisons, suffering the extreme heat conditions. Many died during the march. That is why the incident is known as the Bataan Death March.
