    The Capas National Shrine in the Philippines commemorates the Bataan Death March of 1942. During the march, Japanese forces forced thousands of surrendered Filipino and American soldiers to make a 65-mile forced march with little food or water. Over 10,000 men died. The shrine was established in the 1980s by the Philippine government and covers 90 hectares. It contains memorials like an obelisk and boxcar used in the march that could hold up to 60 prisoners in extremely cramped conditions.
