Twenty-Two on Peleliu Quotes

“We heard later that K Company had unknowingly come up on a couple of camouflaged bunkers and a couple of machine guns had suddenly opened up on them. The company CO, Capt. Joe Terzi and XO, Capt. Phillip Wilheit, were killed right off.12 They took a couple more casualties, but all of the Jap bunkers were finally taken after we brought up an amtrac and covered it as it ran over three of the four bunkers and pounded them flat.”
