FrogMick Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Fantastic pictures! I had an uncle that was a Navy vet from the 1920s and he joined the Seabees in 1942 and they followed the Marines all over the Pacific as they took it back an island at a time. He said the John Wayne movie "The Fighting Seabees" wasn't to far off. Uncle Hal was born in 1906 so he was 36 in 1942 and 40 when he got out in 1946. He said all the Marines and sailors always called him Pops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geof_junk Posted May 5, 2010 Report Share Posted May 5, 2010 Thanks for the photos. Spent over 6 years in that area during 1970-80 and remember those sites and the ww2 relics (planes, shell and tanks etc) that we stumbled on in the jungles.
