I think they need to follow a company from the 1st Marine division from Guadalcanal to Iwo-Jima

I think only the Guadacanal saga has enough material for a 10 part series.

Though I've always thought the ordeal of the marine 1st defense battalion, VMF 211 and the civilian construction workers during the seige at Wake Island deserved some attention from Hollywood (the 1943 propaganda film bore no resemblence to reality) such a series would stretch longer than the actual seige.

BbinIL is right on. Look for a Band of Brothersesque portrayal of a unit from the 1st Marines Gudalcanal to Okinawa. The Title - Only one choice - "Semper Fi"
