I just finished watching an excellent documentary about the Marines at the battle of Wake Island - the Alamo of the Pacific. There were a small group of survivors from that long ago battle, each remembering their part in the events that took place; combined with file footage from WW-II, it made a memorable documentary. I learned a lot from watching it.
Those guys set the bar very high for themselves and all the Marines that have followed. The US Marines continue to keep these traditions strong. Well done guys!
