U.S. Marine Corps Tech. Sgt. Theodore R. Moralda is one of the few remaining survivors of the Battle of Guadalcanal. He explains the shared hardships with his fellow Marines and how they fought in the battle. On August 7, 1942, Marines landed on the islands of Guadalcanal, Tulagi, and Florida in the southern Solomon Islands, with the objective of stopping the Japanese who threatened Allied supply and communication routes between the US, Australia, and New Zealand.(U.S. Marine Corps video by Sgt.
