Today, we remember the legacy of Marines who fought at the Battle of Belleau Wood during World War I, helping to cement the Corps' reputation as the world's premier fighting force.
During the intense battle, the 4th Marine Brigade, comprised of the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments, and the 6th Machine Gun Battalion, fought aggressively through the wheat fields and woodlands in France, helping to stop a major German advance toward Paris in 1918. The Battle of Belleau Wood became a major turning point for the Corps, providing Marines with experience in large scale operations.
Legend has it that Marines were later called Teufel Hunden ("Devil Dogs" in German) due to the relentless tenacity while taking enemy positions during the battle. Because of the Marinesโ unwavering commitment, the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments were awarded the French Croix de Guerre, an award presented to individuals or units for acts of valor and bravery on the battlefield.
Semper Fidelis.

When you have to include the caveat that something is not a joke, you know that we are in treacherous waters.
Common sense is but a memory. Why are we still single-handedly financing this disgusting organization?
For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lordโs.
Romans 14:7-8
On this day in 1943, a thousand starving Japanese soldiers ran screaming out of the fog on a frozen Alaskan island, bayonets lashed to broken sticks, to die.
The island was Attu, the westernmost tip of the Aleutian chain. It was the only piece of North American soil the Japanese had captured in the entire war. The Americans had been trying to take it back for nineteen days in the worst conditions either side had ever fought in: freezing rain, knee-deep mud, fog so thick a man could not see his own rifle, and tundra that swallowed boots and never gave them back.
The Japanese garrison was down to 800 men. They had no food left. No medicine. No way off the island. They had been told no rescue was coming.
Their commander was Colonel Yasuyo Yamasaki, a 51 year old career officer who had been on Attu for less than three weeks. On the night of May 28, he gathered every man who could still hold a weapon. This included his wounded. Those who could not walk were shot or given grenades. Those who could limp were given anything that could stab. Some had bayonets. Some had bayonets lashed to ski poles. Some had bayonets lashed to tent stakes.
Then he led them straight at the American line in the dark.
It was the largest banzai charge of the Pacific war up to that point.
They came through a gap in the fog at 3:30 AM, completely silent until they were inside the American positions. Then they screamed. They overran the front line in minutes. They overran the artillery batteries behind it. They reached the field hospital and butchered the wounded in their cots. They got within a hundred yards of the American command post before they were finally stopped by a scratch force of engineers, cooks, military police and walking wounded who fired at point blank range until their rifles were too hot to hold.
When the sun came up, the snow on the slope was carpeted with bodies.
The Americans counted 500 dead Japanese on the ground in front of them. Then they began finding the rest. Almost all of the remaining defenders had killed themselves with grenades held against their chests. American soldiers walking the field afterward described finding small groups of three or four men curled in a circle, their bodies folded around the same grenade.
Out of a Japanese garrison of nearly 2,900, the Americans took 28 prisoners.
It was the second highest American casualty rate of any battle in the Pacific war, after Iwo Jima.
Almost no one in the United States has heard of it.
Of course America is a Christian Nation
- The original state constitutions professed Jesus Christ as King
- A Christian statement of faith was required to serve in public office
- Our Declaration of Independence is written as a prayer to the โJudgeโ of the world โ Jesus Christ.
- 55/56 signers of the Declaration of Independence were Bible believing Christians
-Our original founding document references God 4 times and derives all principles from Biblical law
- John Adamโs said our nation was established only for a โmoral and religious peopleโ
When the godless left attacks โChristian Nationalismโ they are attacking America itself.
So who will inherit the legacy of this great nation?
Polling shows Democrats have abandoned Christianity en-masse while the right is leading a revival back to the church. We also are the only ones creating families, having children and passing on our values.
You do the math.
America is a Christian Nation and our descendants will restore it to its original founding.
Thank you @kayleighmcenany and @FoxNews for having me on to establish this critical truth. ๐บ๐ธ
