Fri Long before our Marines had landed, our scout boat had darted into the lagoon on her perilous mission, screening with smoke the activities of our minesweepers. Through the following days of the vicious battle and the subsequent mopping-up operations, the Wa1'ren's boats made trips to every island in this northern group, unloading cargo and ferrying troops. Many among the boat crews went ashore on the battered islands to see the Jap dead piled in heaps where they fell and to return to the ship with souvenirs of battle. , And so the Warren and her crew won their first star for combat action.

Shell fragments constantly clipped over the foxholes of our beach party, and the waters off the beach and beyond the reef were churned by exploding mortar shells. lt seemed impossible in that hail of fire and burning lead that our men could come through unscathed.
