Had one gramps a Marine vet wounded always freaked out about Potable Water as every island he landed on to his last wound always had tained water, other gramps was a Seabee. Wife's gramps was an EWO in PBY's Battle of the Atlantic. A buddies Dad just passed, he stoped driving and smoking! He was a Mexican American from CA on an oiler, volunteered for frogman in the Philippines due to his spanish, finished the war years after getting dropped off as a Guerrilla Leader, or instructor so they say. RIP Greatest! I Miss You! Y'all, YA'LL!
Saipan Island, even today - like the battlefields of WW1, soldiers or civilians remains and equipment are still found. To remind us all, of the cost of the Pacific war, to all soldiers, sailors and airmen as well as the civilians. RIP to all.
I'd heard Jig Day came from the feints planned, with the second landing craft approach being close as 400 yards from shore at Tinian Town... basically dancing a jig in planned withdrawals.
1:55 Davis won a medal for helping a wounded soldier on Saipan. 10 months later he was "ironically" killed while trying to help another wounded soldier? What was ironic about it? Irony is the second most overused word in English. Most of the time people usually mean coincidentally. In case you are curious, literally is currenly the most overused word in the English language.
