The Last of the Old Breed Quotes

“John Marx, 97, Third Marine Division: There were legs and arms and torsos laying all over the place. There were sharks in the shallow water eating bodies—big hammerheads and tiger sharks. If you stayed on the beach, you were going to be killed. Sooner or later, you’re going to be killed. Even the artillery guys were getting shot. It was like the O.K. Corral.”
― Scott Davis, The Last of the Old Breed: An Oral History of the Final Marines from World War II
