Strange comments with this video again.

sad to hear......haven't gone back home for almost 13 yrs now....there should be a major clean up and I think the Kiribati government should do something about this too....to honor our soldiers who had given their life for our freedom we also need to give back to them by making this sacred place clean...thanks Mr Cooper for your effort....

Hello Mr. Cooper.
I was in Tarawa in 1984 - 45. During this time I was in Batio and found the Eternal Flame was extinguished and in need of repair. I wrote a letter to Washington and it also was ignored.

After the battle the Marines raised both the USA & British flags, since the Gilbert Islands were a British colony at the start of the war. Just some info. for the Brits that are always deriding the USA.
Casualties: USMC & Navy = ~3,356+, 1,056+ KIA, DofW, & MIA, over 2,300+ WIA; Jap. = ~4,836 to 4,849, ~4,690 - 4,713 KIA & 146 POW (17 Jap., 129 Korean). Total: 8,195+ on ~1sq. mile of island & coral reef in ~76 hours.

they should ask for people who would like to go there and help cleaning up!

I just returned from Tarawa. Betio is the biggest garbage dump I have ever seen. Pity. CNN should send Anderson Cooper there to check it out.

natives, who have been dumping their biodegradable food leavings for centuries (breadfruit, coconuts, e tc) but now use our "western" diet, junkfood, non-biodegrable. They don't know or care--even so, our government should remove the garbage & institute garbage clean up methods, but our government continues to ignore my many messages urging officials to do this, so it's a combination of ignorant natives and an indifferent government that allows this desecration to remain
