[QUOTE="0699, post: 44737, member: 62"] I've said it before and I'll say it again. We need an envy smilie. I'd love to go to Wake and do a battlefield study. Amazing battle; hard to believe a small group of Marines, Sailors, and (yes, even then) contractors held out for so long. The only really neat battlefield study I've done was at Entebbe Airport. I took a book about the rescue to Uganda with me (I think it was [I]Raid on Entebbe[/I]) and read it as I was walking around the airfield. It was pretty neat to have the book in one hand and walk the path the Israeli C-130s took as they taxied up to the terminal. There were still blood stains on the wall of the old terminal (abandoned when we were there) and some of our det pried 7.62 rounds out of the wall plaster. I'd love to do the same at Wake Island with Maj Deveraux's book... [/QUOTE]
