Unlike his best friend PFC Marvin "Mike" Peterson of Iowa , my father left the island and lived 60 more years. Mike had less than 48 hours left to live when he got off the 779. He was the only child of a WW 1 veteran and his wife. My father, Private George F Leath of Fort Payne Alabama was one of those Marines with that 155 howitzer battery.
