WHY IS IT APRIL 10?

We shall be riding on the same date along the same route that our heros, tired and weary from 3 months of battle, were made to walk from Mariveles to Pampanga, and then from Capas to Camp O’ Donell, in the same summer heat with almost no food or water while suffering, beatings, tortures, executions, by their captors.
We ride to honor, remember and appreciate the sacrifice that was paid by the blood and valor of our forefathers, for the freedoms and luxuries we now enjoy.
