Živela jugoslavija

Thank you very much for uploading this video with all the pictures of Tarawa. I lived in Beiriki 5 years of my childhood and unfortunately I have almost no photos from that time left. I wore the same green uniform as the girls in 3:05. I still can remember the time very well, it is a very special place. I thank God that I was able to grow up not only in such a beatiful place but also very protected. It is a different way of living there, than it is in the West. I remember everyone to be very caring and loving, in a diferent way than here. I cannot explain it, it was like a diferent world. - Of course everything has it's shadow sides. And I have to say that - at least in the 90s - all the military "leftovers" across the island were very present (at least to me as a child), and scared me each time we drove by, because I had heared in great detail about some things of this time in school and from some elderly people in the village. Fun fact: The word for "dog" in Kiribati is pronounced "come here" - because when english speaking men first visited the Island with their dogs, they always told them to "come here"... :) I don't know how it is written in Kiribati though.

Really weird to see Betio today totally developed into housing and residential areas.

Memorial plaques and veterans are like milk and coffee

Pollution is sad

2022🇵🇦

zivela yugoslavia !!!!

This is the Kosovo of the Albanians who were violated over the centuries, but it was not overthrown and disproportionately by the Seb who, with the help of the churches, created myths while trying to create an autochthonous Albanian people.

Ko zna mozda se ponovi ta Jugoslavija ,vrijeme ce pokazati.

ROĐENA 15.12.1966. GODINE, U SFRJ

The best country in the world. Now, casino capitalist outlets of the neocon federal bureau is nothing but an underdeveloped and corrupt habibistan.

Nice.

The 8 inch guns sited on Tarawa Atoll were not 'Singapore Guns', this is a common misconception. The 'Singapore Guns' were BL Mk1 15 inch guns of a similar type to those mounted on battleships of the Royal Navy. All of these guns were still emplaced when Singapore was liberated and only removed after the war. None of them were ever relocated to Tarawa.The guns on Tarawa were British guns manufactured by Vickers and their serial numbers show that these were sold to Japan around the time of the Russo-Japanese War.

I lived on Betio for three years in the mid 1990's, always finding something from the war in my yard. I lived not far from the two eight inch guns at Temakin Point. Just read the book by John Wukovits "One Square Mile of Hell" and have a copy of Derrick Wright's book "Tarawa, a hell of a way to die". I haven't been back to Kiribati since 2000, enjoyed my time there. Great video, thank you.

What kind of stupid shit is this?

God rest their noble souls. Thank You USMC!

My father was a veteran of that battle. 3/4 of his platoon never left Betio. Thank you.

Very misleading title for this video. It should be called Tarawa- You won't believe what they've done to the place. Pitiful tribute to what actually happened there. You should be ashamed.

So much rubbish around - terrible

And the last.... We won....

If I was the captain of that flight I would of delayed the flight. Job be damed this is history!!!

Can you tell me more about their ansestry with the Aztecs, good job on the video by the way

Wonderful Town's excellent video thank you.

Betio is nothing but a environmental nightmare today. Overloaded and polluted.

My dad was a first day lander in this fight, 2nd Marines.....wounded twice.....Semper Fi Marines......

Great shots, thanks!

micronesia, southeast asia, melanesia and polynesia all could have been japan's.

God bless all the men. 100% But the video 1/10

No US Military Cemetery on Tarawa? Because of the weather which was hot bodies would decompose fast.

R Đ I KA is this some sort of a comedy clip

I went there in 95 with 1/2 2nd Mar Div while on a UDP to Okinawa. Beautiful people and beautiful atoll.

Excellent film footage and sound. Great dialogue.

Thanks for save my home country, GOD bless America

Dusa me boli za onim vremenima...Jos ova muzika❤❤❤

U Dubrovniku 1966. godine upoznali su se moja pokojna majka (Hrvatica) i moj otac (Srbin). Ja sam se rodio naredne godine. Lepo je videti video snimak Straduna i drugih mesta iz te godine. Ne znam iz kojeg meseca je ovaj snimak. Ja imam brdo fotografija iz leta 1966. (moj deda je u to vreme bio fotograf u tom gradu) i na njima Dubrovnik ne izgleda ovako sumorno već su osunčane ulice prepune turista.

My Father was on this Isand he said it was a hard battle to fight and sometimes hand to hand combat I respect my Father for risking his life and all the other Soldiers so we can have our freedom they were the greatest generation

The US Marine corps practiced on the big island of Hawaii prior to tarawa . Mahalo for your service.we will never forget.

War ein sehr schönes Land, jezt nur ein höfen scheisse....

I love the way westerners automatically go to the Muslim or poor areas. That’s like me making a USA video, and going first to the Adirondacks, then the Kentucky mountains. These poor chicken eating hillbillies aren’t the USA!

Well done Donald
