Students from Santa Fe Indian School in New Mexico helped pay tribute to the survivors of the Bataan Death March on Tuesday.

The students presented blankets to the World War II veterans who were forced to march to internment camps where they were held for three years by the Japanese. Most of members of the two regiments involved were from New Mexico.

Fewer than half of the 1,600 survived internment.
