| Description: | Heads bowed before battle. U.S. Coast Guardsmen and Marines join in prayer for the success of American arms in the invasion of Guam. On the deck of a Coast Guard manned assault transport unit in the great sea force moving against the last bastion in the Southwest Pacific, the fighting men bow their heads and follow the prayer led by Chaplain Fred Corun. A few hours later, they were in the landing barges storming Guams beaches. (Official Coast Guard photo #2,651, Marine Corps Historical Center). |
