=David=

Day one we was setting up camp on April 8,1941 the Japanesse tried to overthrow us.When I heard the siren go off and it announced that we we're under attack I grew very frightened and tense.The only thing I can think about was my family,life,career,and the achievements i didn't get a chance to accomplish.The United states army took it's defense stance and gunshots went off.I was in a ditch curled up scared for my life when 2 hours passed the gunshots stopped.All of a sudden i had heard footsteps approaching the ditch and the United states general called out "David are u in here the invasion is over".I got up and I felt like crying and hugging the general at the same time.He said "soldiers and reporters lets move out before there army gain on our trail.I knew rite then and their it was going to be a Hell of a war.

Day two we we're headed to the heart of the war the infamous island of Okinawa.I was with the third fleet and u could hear gunshots and missles miles away.I grabbed my video camera and my note pad and wrote down everything that was happening.When General Buckner called and said"the japanese is trying to overthrow us and we need more troops we we're already there.When I got out the boat it was dead Japanese and American soldiers everywhere the water turned red and was stained with blood.I never seen all these lifeless bodies before in my life I started to panic when a cannon ball struck our boat.Soldiers we're injured and 4 died we had no way off the island and I started to weep the island of Okinawa was under attack and I was in the middle of the war.A soldier told me to dig a trench and stay put so I did and I saw a whole bunch of dead bodies.The battle grew very aggresive the japanesse called in air show to drop bombs on our soldiers.
