Harold Barber | 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division (WWII)
He didn't even notice that he'd been hit. A piece of shrapnel from a Japanese artillery shell found Harold Barber's leg but he kept right on fighting because of the adrenaline. The Corpsman bandaged him and he was right back in the battle for Peleliu. The Navy was able to stay and take part in the fight unlike when he was on Guadalcanal.

The Japanese had given up on the Banzai charges by the time of the Peleliu landing. Instead they would send raiding parties toward the beach and it was during one of these attacks that Frank Pomroy took a bayonet wound to his knee. It only slowed him down a little, he was not out of the fight. WitnessToWar.org Follow us on social media: WitnessToWar WitnessToWar instagr...

They thought it was over. In 2003, the men of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion stormed into Iraq during the initial assault. They returned home triumphant. Mission accomplished. But then the word came that there would be an emergency redeployment. Saddam may be gone but the job was not finished and they were going to Fallujah. (Part 3 of 3.)

It was memorable. Through the berm and into Iraq, driving through the desert at night. Recon Marine Josh Ray Person was at the wheel and he was also driving when the unit was later ambushed on a bridge. As the war progressed, he encountered many Iraqis who wanted to join in and kill Saddam. WitnessToWar.org Follow us on social media: WitnessToWar WitnessToWar #VeteranSt...

A useless war that we lost. It was a war to fight against communism. Vietnam is a now a socialist republic with a one-party system led by the Communist Party. The CPV espouses Marxism-Leninism and Hồ Chí Minh Thought, the ideologies of Hồ Chí Minh.
