#3 Was just reading about Guadalcanal and the exploits of this same brigade of the 25th in taking various key positions (Galloping Horse, Sea Horse). There are American units with amazing collections of battle ribbons on their colors .... may their glorious stories continue.

#7 The Marines hate to admit it, but there were MORE amphibious ops undertaken by the US Army in WW2 than there were by the Marines. And the Army got good at it. Phillipines and a lot of other places.

Over in the other ocean, ever heard of little places called Sicily, Anzio (great landing, failed leadership), Normandy?

The Marines do what they have always done - get better press.

People seem to forget that the Army was the largest amphibious unit operator in the military until after WW2.

I was going to suggest something but I do believe that my work is done here.
