It's Been Seventy Years...

...since the landing on Guadalcanal in 1942. A tiny island, but necessary for a refueling stop for bombers.

If you don't know anything about the attack, and subsequent long effort to rid the island of defenders, do a search engine, go to the library or find a participant that's willing to talk about it. It's part of our history and a testament of the bravery of our armed forces.

    watch Guadalcanal Diary, then the Jimmy Cagney flick The Gallant Hours where he plays Halsey.
