September 15, 1944 The Island of Peleliu
Today the general wants us to take this damn island. Some of the CO's are questioning the "value" of this island. They say it is for the airstrip. Come to think of it, that's what all of these islands have been about. The general says it'll take us about four days to take control of this island. Jap resistance is fierce. Traps, wire, mines, tanks, banzai raids, grenades, . . . . . hell . . . . . Who knows how long and how many lives this rock will take to secure.
