A wooden marker reading 'Resistance Point' stands on a battle-scarred Pacific beach, its inscription noting that the shoreline was 'literally lined with dead Marines from the third wave' during one of WWII's bloodiest amphibious assaults. Signs like this were erected by military units to document the ferocity of specific engagements, believed here to be at Tarawa (Betio Island), November 1943. Project: 218184
