This was a great article about a great Marine. His heroism was as big as Texas. I first learned of Tarawa when I went to Camp Pendleton years ago as a public school administrator. While at the base, we listened to many presentations, but the one about Tarawa was the most riveting because the presenter started crying when telling the story of the Marines malady in taking the island. I will never forget the story, but more importantly, I will never forget the courage and bravery of America's marines whose actions secured the freedom we all enjoy as free Americans. Rob Tatman
