Wonder if there are any scenarios portraying that battle? [ August 18, 2001: Message edited by: lnp4668 ]

Status: offline 		For those not in the US (or in the US but don't watch the right news channel ) It is a story about a raid by a group of Raiders against a Japan held island as a diversion previous to the attack on Guadacanal. They said president Roosevelt's son also was in that group. Some of the Raiders were captured and some of them was KIA. Now, after 60 years, they finally found the grave of the KIAs and bring the remains home to bury in Arlington National Cemetery.
