Re: Bloody Peleiliu

I had hoped that Picture would spark some interest. And I see it did! I looked that National Archives and Records Administration sight over real well and it contains a entire section of African Americans who not only fought in the Pacific, but in Europe as well. I knew they were there, but Not to the extent of which the pictures show. Their contributions no doubt helped to turn the tide in both theatres.

Glad you guys like the Thread. And I hope to find some more pics I can post without angering copyright gods!

This was a nightmarish battle fought in the antechamber of hell. My hat is off to all those who endured this fight and all who fell.
