Famous WW2 Quote
"You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word. It is victory. Victory at all costs. Victory in spite of all terrors. Victory, however long and hard the road may be, for without victory there is no survival."Winston Churchill

This is not 3/6 on 11-22-43. This is 2/2 on 11-20-43. The Photographer is in a rubber boat along the pier (pier is to the right). Corporal Bill Bennett is in the center of this photo and he was from D 2/18 assigned to F/2/2. This was the fourth wave about 10am on 11-20-43. The Niminoa wreck is visible on the high res. version of this photo, proving it is Red 2 and not Green Beach. Brent Peterson/Bill Bennett biographer; 815-325-0707
