I had the honor of speaking with a 1st Marine Division Guadalcanal Veteran!

Hey guys some months back I had the honor of hearing the experiences of WWII veteran Theodore Marolda. He was a Gunnery Sergeant (then called a Tech Sergeant) with the 1st Marine Division as an Amphibian Tracker. He was with the first troops landing on the first day on Guadalcanal and also served in New Guinea and Cape Gloucester, earning four battle stars. I recorded through audio and images to give emphasis on the story rather than staring at a video. Before we move from the East Coast I plan to talk with some more World War II veterans here in Connecticut. There are some at a retirement home my friend works at that want to share their experiences. I firmly believe their stories should be heard.
