 THOSE
WHO ALSO SERVED
The
Civilian Construction Men of Wake Island
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the men that history almost forgot.
In 1941, more than 1,100 civilian
men ventured 4,000 miles across the Pacific to
desolate Wake Island to build a U.S. Navy
base. Just hours after Pearl Harbor was bombed, Wake
Island was attacked and these men were thrust
into the forefront of the war in the Pacific. |
