They were teenagers who became more than men—in the chaos of World War II, they became Marines. In this extraordinary set you'll learn the true story of the boys who answered the call of duty, a call that took them into combat against the toughest opponent in America's history, the Empire of Japan. Across fire-swept beaches, in trackless jungles, on rugged coral ridges, the marines of World War II created their legend in the battles of the Pacific. Adding poignancy to the archival footage of this documentary feature, much of the story here is told by the veterans who were there.
