I still remember the old pictures of my dad (we're from Philippines) while he was still working in this beauiful island... one of which say's "Where americas day really begins!"

Now I am very interested to work in this island!!

@ventosus28 thank you for your coment i still have people looking at it i wonder if is worth any money i have a hd camera i wonder if it would be worth trancefering it again for higher qulity shane

An incredible story. Bill Sloan's book is the best story I have read about Wake. A handful of Marines and civilians held off the Japs for an amazing 3 weeks against unbelievable odds. If Kimmel had not become a scape goat, reinforcements would have arrived in the nick of time. As a US Marine, the story of Wake really makes me swell with pride to hear what my comrades did. A real "David vs Goliath' story...only Goliath won after continual attacks and nearly unlimited resources.

No...I didn't serve, I was only 9-11 years old then. However, some of my school friends had brothers killed in action...One on the carrier "Bunker Hill" off the coast of Okinawa when a Jap Kamikaze hit it, and the other on fighting on Okinawa. Another friend's uncle was killed in the Battle of the Bulge. You had to live in those times and see the Gold Stars hanging in all the windows...My Uncle was also killed fighting on Saipan....So don't tell me how I feel about it when you can't remember.

They grow weed on wake island

@cinamin45 Thanks for the comment. In the future, I will definitely go. I'm just a 18 year old student in Canada right now.

Midway, Iwo Jima, and Wake Island. I'd want to go for them all too. 2k seems like a good price for just Wake Island. Also, visiting these remote US places seems a lot easier than some of these places in Canada. If I want to go to Alert, or Sable Island, I need permission from the government.

[cinamin45]

@ostapslobodian Oh yes they do sir!

I suggest looking at Miltours.com they take you around the pacific with War vets who fought on these Islands! I'm currently planning a trip to Midway - Iwo Jima - Wake Island, the Wake tour needs a few more people before they set off it'll set you back about 2k in total but it's really really worth it!

BATTLEFIELD!!!

[dereklsept]

@ostapslobodian join the air force...went there about 2 months ago..still tons of history on the island

[the82spartans]

@ARP7777777 -- need to make a motion picture film of this epic but tragic battle during the first days of WW II in the Pacific...this battle has many stories to tell.

[ARP7777777]

@the82spartans yeah, when Wake had fallen, the Imperial Navy officers looked for the 12 inch artillery pieces that the Americans had used on their ships . . . except there WERE no 12 cannon on Wake! Just 5 inchers!

@ventosus28 To do what?

[Greenhornet270]

I landed on this shithole on the way back from Vietnam...a worthless place.
