The New Mexico National Guard has scheduled a ceremony to commemorate the 83^rd anniversary of the fall of Bataan at 11 a.m. Wednesday, April 9th, outside the Bataan Memorial Building on Don Gaspar Avenue here.

The event, which is open to the public, is followed by a reception.  Many families of Bataan Veterans are expected to attend.  The ceremony features a rifle volley, so citizens should be aware of a brief loud echo of military rifles firing blanks.
