Oh good. I have like 200 or so photos from there but these give you a slight idea. Doesn't do it justice though. That island is hard to just walk on

Thanks for the pics. They are awesome, and a piece of history I will only read about.

It's a beast to get there and it's 30 hours straight travel to get back but worth every minute.

If you're a scuba diver or snorkeler it's got some of the best in the world

The Pacific War was a shite show. Those were some tough men. Western Europe was wine and cheese.

United from Guam


forgot Continental(United) bought Air Mic, always wanted to go down there, had a few uncles in some big fights down there, before they made the sunken ships and downed airplanes off limits to divers(with exceptions) that was some awesome diving, I've obviously never done it but have friends that have, some pretty awesome pics, and from them I understand why they restricted it

Quotes from Eugene Sledge were used in the Ken Burns documentary “The War”. As expected his views at this point in the war were very discouraging

Loved the pics. Thank you for sharing - I’m sure you repped the Tigers when there!
