As an undergraduate student of the University of Arkansas Fort Smith, and the daughter of a a World War II veteran, who was a member of the 27th Infantry of the United States Army, I am using this publication as one of my primary sources [of printed information] I need to complete my graduation requirements as a U.S. History major at UAFS. My daddy is eighty-five-years-old, and this may be the first time he has seen such a tremendous account, in formal print, of the significanct roles that he and his Army buddies played in the battle of Makin Atoll in World War II. (pg 357)!!! Thank you to all who participated in the publication of this fabulous historical book. Sincerely Lynnette "Lynn' Moore (Pocola, Oklahoma).
