When placed against the odds in fighting a bloody battle on the small South Pacific island of Peleliu and subsequently moving the fight to Okinawa during the last battle of World War II, Judge Braswell Deen, Jr., takes the reader back to a time when he and other United States Marines showed great courage and love by offering their lives where the rest of the world might have the chance to be free. This book, And Some Gave All, is dedicated to those of the United States Marine Corps; the warriors that gave their lives and did not return home. All warriors give some, and some give all. Corporal Braswell Deen, Jr., was lucky to survive, and by reading his memoir of the Marines who fought in the battles of Peleliu and Okinawa it is hoped that their service and sacrifice are never forgotten or diminished. Semper Fi!
