Throughout the past year, it’s been my privilege to research and tell the stories of several men of the 4th Marines. This week I’m revisiting the riveting accounts of 5 Marines and their pivotal role in the Philippines during World War II.
From the initial defense of the islands to the harrowing Battle of Corregidor, this episode showcases the unwavering courage and indomitable spirit of the Marines as they faced overwhelming odds in the Pacific Theater.
