"Doesn't look like much, does it? But, depending upon your definition, this photograph, a team effort by 9 men, is the most honored picture in U. S. History. If you want to find out about it, read on. It’s an interesting tale about how people sometimes rise beyond all expectations.
It takes place in the early days of World War II, in the South Pacific, and if you’re a World War II history buff, you may already know about it."

That's a hell of a story. The part I find most interesting is how Zeamer managed to motivate a bunch of screwups to perform so well. You can't build an army around screwups, but it sure is nice to know how to make use of them.
