Show Notes

From the streets of London to the beaches of North Africa, Marines carried their purpose into every corner of a world at war. They trained with the Royal Marines, guarded embassies under fire, planned Allied landings, and fought in places where no division would ever march. When Japan fell, they raised the flag over Yokosuka and Nagasaki, guarded surrendered fleets, and kept order through the uneasy calm that followed.

Peace offered no rest. The Corps faced demobilization, doubt, and then a new kind of war in Korea's frozen mountains. At Pusan, Inchon, and Chosin, they proved the spirit of the Pacific had not dimmed.
