Terrible Trial on Peleliu

Wow, that was a helluva battle for that Island...with heavy loss of life... Great Share, Lt Col Charlie Brown!!!

Alot of Marines thought Peleliu was an unnecessary battle. But it provided a glimpse of what was upcoming in future battles as we closed on Japan.

I was in a store an old man walked up to me to place his order I was waiting for mine. He was wearing a Marine Raider WWII hat with little badges on it Peleliu was there as well. Before I could say anything to him, he spun around fast for an old bent man looked at me and said thank you for service Sergeant. I said no Sir the Thank You it's an Honor to shake your hand you're a real Hero I never saw the ugly stuff you did. He just laughed and said it's all in your definition. I have never seen him there again but when we stopped people were watching us. I wish I would have stayed in touch with him.
