Off the Beach
by
Matt Hall
It is 8:30 a.m. on Sept. 15, 1944 as the Marines of King Company churn
onto Peleliu. Vehicle exhaust, gun smoke, and burning vegetation choke
the air as Japanese artillery and mortars pound the pre-sighted beaches.
Machine gun bullets rip across the sand as Eugene Sledge, in his baptism
of fire, trails veteran R.V. Burgin. Sent to capture Peleliu’s airfield
from an enemy of unknown strength, the men of K-3-5 and their brothers
of the 1st Marine Division know they are in the fight of their lives.
But, for now, only one thought echoes through their minds:
Get off the beach!
