In this first of three episodes on Peleliu, Seth and Bill tackle the opening stages of the infamous invasion of Peleliu on September 15, 1944. The veteran 1st Marine Division is assigned to invade the coral bastion of Peleliu in what was promised by their commanding General to be a "tough quickie" of an operation. The fighting on the beaches and at the bloody Point by George Hunt's K-3-1 would be bloody harbingers of what was to come as the Old Breed gutted it out against the toughest defense in the Pacific to that time.
