Posted November 24th, 2008 by OldWarrior

If you were a part of this bloody, historic battle you can create a custom Military Ring to commemorate your participation.

This 3 day battle occurred on Nov 20 1943. It was the US Military’s first major amphibious assault of WWII. More than 990 US Marines and 680 sailors were killed in this epic battle, while over 2,000 American servicemen were wounded. Japanese forces on the Atoll were virtually wiped out completely. The US learned several valuable lessons from this exercise which were applied in future battles to prevent such heavy casualties from occuring again.
