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
My grandfather was a Japanese soldier on Tarawa so I find this interesting to see what that battle was like for him. My family has never seen this or really know what happen to him.
It still amazes me. the soldiers look so poorly equipped in comparison to today. No body armor to hide behind. just a rifle a canteen and a helmet. these men were truly brave.

At 3:11 a dead guy gets shot up by machinegun fire, that's what war looks like.

machine gun for good measure....they
were notorious for "playing Dead"
