A Survivor's March - Veteran Ben Skardon survived the Bataan Death March that killed thousands of American and Filipino soldiers during WWII. Now, at nearly 100, he's still marching -- to pay tribute. Ben Skardon plans on walking the Bataan Memorial Death March in 2018 -- when he'll be 100 years old.
