Dick Whitaker | 29th Marine Regiment, 6th Marine Division - Marines

4:59   |   Some invasion. For three weeks, Dick Whitaker unloaded ships on the beach at Okinawa. Finally, he was sent upcountry to join a rifle company as an ammo bearer for the machine guns. There wasn't much action up there. Almost all the Japanese were in the south and they gave his company a loud welcome when they were moved to that front.
