139 US Marine bodies found on Tarawa

[Bloodwhiner]

Apparently their burial site was forgotten after the 1943 battle, but now they may be identified and returned home.

Semper Fi my friends.

I hope these men find rest back home. RIP.

Finally returning home. Semper Fi.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Sixty five years. Pretty much a lifetime. I hope they can all be identified....

 

[Captain Intrepid]

Awesome! I'm glad they were found.

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Glad to see more of our troops returning home where they belong.

That is always a good thing.
