  2. That combat tractor about half way through the video, with the really short 75mm gun sure looks like the one in that thousand yard stare painting. I wonder if…

  3. A dream of mine would be to do this.
    Visit all the WWII fighting areas.

    May they all RIP!

    The LVT(A)-1 soldiered throughout the Pacific campaign,

    By mid-1944, they were all replaced by much more capable 75 mm (2.95 in) gun armed LVT(A)-4.

  5. My FIL was an infantry officer in this battle. Didn't talk about it until he got Alzheimer's.
