Recently read two books of US marines fighting in Peleliu…nothing “touching” about the jap flag and what the marines went through and the death toll to take the island.
The family in Utah apparently has no idea what their relative went through to survive that battle.
Reading the two books, I did not see how the two authors could relive what they went through to write those books when they were in their seventies.
Do you think we would have any "touching" stories about some jap family returning the Stars and Stripes to some family in flyover country?
Would we get any tear jerkers about some girl whose life was "shadowed" by jap attacks on Pearl Harbor, or in the Aleutian Islands?
