I saw mortar and cannon rounds rolling up in the Normandy surf everyday in July of 1983. Disposal of found ammo was a routine part of the Lifeguard job on the French seaside beach.

My Father John B Frazier made 5 beachheads in the Pacific Islands. USMC they were Peleiu, Guadalcanal,Tarawa, Saipan, Tinian.He never talked about it and I never asked.He ,his Brother my Brother and I all were in the Marine Corps. My Father passed away in 2003 ,he was a hell of a man !

My dad was in the 1st Marine Division he was a forward Observer mortar crew, he fought on bloody nose, Guadalcanal was some of the most brutal fighting in the most brutal conditions they were truly the breed

RIP to all the brave men who fought through out world war 2 September 1, 1939 never forgotten<3

For once, it's good to see such good history like this not plastered in shitty graffiti and been vandalised by kids.

off this clip alone i have decided to take the trip to this place and see it for myself, i cannot wait...thank you for uploading this clip!!

Thanks so much for posting this important history.

6:16 is amazing! After reading With the Old Breed and watching The Pacific, I would love to see this bunker Sledge, Snafu, R.V. Burgin and nine other marines conquered in person.
