ButI don't know why anybody would want to row way the hell across the Pacific to visit that unhappy place--one that I "visited" for the first time in November, 1943 during the battle of "Bloody Tarawa," in which I took part as a US Navy landing craft officer, landing assault troops on Red Beach, where I saw scores of my countrymen being cut to pieces by Japanese gunfire (in a battle that had nothing to do with the defeat of Japan) and then, my second visit during February, 2008 to get more information about the hundreds of Americans whose remains still lie there, including a Congressional Medal of Honor winner. Go to my website for more about my return visit, including viewing my film. Best wishes, and again, congratulations. Leon Cooper Hello

I can't believe, after the final, wrenching ordeal you document above, that you were still able to blog about your arrival! I hope the next few days brings you considerably more rest and relaxation. Any chance your return to civilization will bring you through Honolulu? Though we were but the first stop in your fantastic latest trip, I must say that I and the rest of the Aloha State have grown quite fond of you. We'll keep a cold beer on ice for you, just in case.

Royal are your efforts, and a Royal Reception at Tarawa was most appropriate. That was one on my favorite landings out three dozen I made in the Pacific, while sailing 11,200 miles of it. Enjoy every moment of it. Go pick up some of their stamps ...they are artwork for sure ...you will cherrish them in memory of your milestone. It was an honor to take part in your Hawaii stop ...thank you for including me. I still have a sea barnnical that fell from Brocade's hull while in our boatshop. Aloha; enjoy a nap under a coconut tree, Gary Brookins Roz
