Marines
I've been putting together a family history re. military service for my two daughters and potential grand children. God I'm old!!!
I listed in My Favorite Marine, my Uncle Larry Vlach. The second link below tells his story. If interested take a look. Also, if you scroll down past my uncle you see the name Eddie Albert, yes of "Green Acres" fame. He was there as well!!!
The first link is a documentary entitled "With the Marines at Tarawa". I've never seen this before. It isn't the best quality but I think you'll appreciate that it's not a Hollywood production but taken from combat photographers
To all you Docs out there, this pays a special tribute to those who came before
