Title: Marines bring home fallen brothers from the Gilbert Islands ---1942 to 1999
Post by: jmck on September 05, 2012, 09:52:27 AM

He is a email I got that DESERVES to be seen...its a story of 19 Marines that fell fighting the Japs in the Makin Islands(Gilbert Islands)---what the locals did out of total respect for the fallen, and a recent trip to bring home the heroes finally. It will make you tingle.......

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE GESTURES FOR WHICH THERE ARE
FEW WORDS
