We'd like to thank Adam Makos for his help with this script. You can find out more about this story and others in his excellent book, Voices of the Pacific: Untold Stories from the Marine Heroes of World War II. Any errors are our own.

It's August 21st 1942 on the Island of Guadacanal in the Solomon Islands. Hidden just within the tree line lie the men of the 1st Marine Division in their camouflaged positions along the banks of Alligator Creek. Inside one of several foxholes Gunner Johnny “The Indian” Rivers, Loader Al Schmid, and ammo-bearer Corporal Leroy Diamond fend off exhaustion. When 900 men from the Japanese Imperial Army start to cross the river an epic struggle ensues. It's a tale of bravery, commitment and perseverance despite severe injuries and overwhelming odds.
