Bataan Death March survivor receives final military honors

Airmen assigned to the Nellis Air Force Base Honor Guard render military honors during retired Maj. Fredric Foz's Funeral at Palm Mortuary and Cemetery, Feb. 18, 2014, Las Vegas. Foz was a survivor of the Bataan Death March. During the battle of Bataan, American and Filipino soldiers held out for four months against the Imperial Japanese Army. The only part of the western pacific that was not under control of the Japanese was the Philippines. For four months, soldiers lived in the hot tropical jungle of Bataan on half rations. Gen. MacArthur’s plan was to defend until the U.S. Navy could bring reinforcement troops and supplies from the U.S. (U.S. Air Force Photo by Senior Airman Jason Couillard)
