Thank You Scott D
A picture tells a 1000 words: On this day in 1944, U.S. forces began the assualt on Eniwetok atoll. All but about 140 of the 3,500 Japanese defenders fought to their deaths. Passed by wartime censors, this photo of fatigued Marines after the battle presented a rare image of the psychological effects of combat. The Marine drinking coffee on the left is Pfc. Faris "Bob" M. Tuohy who was 19 at the time. Tuohy posed with a copy of the photo in 2019 just prior to turning 95. He currently lives in Ohio.
