A touching, emotional documentary about a group of 2nd Marine Division survivors of the fierce World War II battle with the Japanese at the Tarawa Atoll who return to that location after 45 years.
The Battle of Tarawa was fought November 20th - 23rd 1943 between the United States Marines and forces of the Japanese Empire at the Tarawa Atoll in the Gilbert Islands -- part of Operation Galvanic, the U.S. invasion of the Gilberts. Tarawa was a strategic location that was centrally located in the Pacific for the Philippine islands. The high casualties are said to be a result of poor planning on the American side. Now known as one of the bloodiest battles in the Pacific during WWII, the Battle of Tarawa left roughly 1,000 Marines and Sailors dead and more than 2,000 wounded in 76 hours.
