Transcription: On August 7, 1942, we landed Marines on Guadalcanal. We surprised the Jap and the landings were easy. But we were just in time. In another two days, Jap planes would have been operating from Henderson Field, and a landing that had been so easy would have been well nigh impossible. But the Jap wanted Guadalcanal and strove desperately to take it back. I Carrier duels and in furious close range night actions, our Navy slugged it out with his. Our forces were numerically inferior. But we hung on.
