The Importance of the Battle of Belleau Wood - War on the Rocks

MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. Yep, Belleau Woods is one of the first things we learn in Marine Corps history in boot camp. Thanks for this excellent share Major.

I know the legacy of Belleau Wood and all the great victories, as well as their defeats (Wake Island) wrapped their collective arms around every Marine who's donned the uniform. I wanted that and its why I joined. We never talked of failing in a mission...ever.
