@Praisethelard I've been looking into this and plan to read all of Cooper's book. By his own admission in what I've read, (and other interviews in "Leon Cooper" videos, he says in one that his "memoir" was "Part truth and part fiction"). He was a Higgins boat commander, and the Higgins boats weren't able to land at Tarawa because the tide. Troops ONLY came onshore during the battle in Amtrack Tanks. In his book, a shell hits near him the first minutes in battle and he returned to the main ship
=~+~=HI! okay so im in NJROTC at my high school. and my commander gave the NS3's(3rd year of naval science)a project to do a huge research paper on anything military (i.e. battels, wars, important people, commisoned ships, etc) and i decided to to the Battle of Tarawa since my grandpa served in it as a Marine. what i want to do with my project is to interview someone who served in it. but he passed 9 yrs ago. so if you know any one who has served in it email me at

@MTNBOY007 I guess he went back there for nothing then. Are you saying that there are not still Marine and Navy missing in action that with a little effort from our government could be found and returned to their families. Atleast he is trying to get something done to help the MIA's
We all know that if you write to the Obama administration they won't do shit. Obama didn't visit the Medal of Honor ceremony and he also didn't go to the wreath laying ceremony at Arlington cemetary AND WE"RE IN THE MIDDLE OF 2 ONGOING WARS. That's unheard of for a US president. Even if you support Obama you should be ashamed by his actions in snubbing American Heroes. There is trash literally lying with the remains of American and Japanese soldiers who died for their country. It's sickening.
What do you expect with Indians living and migrating on that Islands,they bring their culture there...tons of garbage!..they shit everywhere on that Island!
@MTNBOY007 Are you for real? Why would he make up such a thing?? So he can make money? Fame??
If anything you seem a little too presumptuous . . .
