#usa #military #ww2
Before they became legends, they were just three ordinary Americans—a dentist, a colonel, and a private—thrown into the hell of Saipan.

In July 1944, Saipan was the gateway to Japan. If America could take the island, B-29 bombers could strike Tokyo itself. The Japanese knew it—and they unleashed the largest BANZAI charge in history. At dawn, 5,000 screaming soldiers stormed across the Tanapag Plain, bayonets flashing, grenades exploding, determined to drive the Americans into the sea.

But three men stood in their path.
A dentist who seized a .50-cal and mowed down wave after wave.
A colonel who rallied his men and charged straight into the onslaught.
And a private who fought hand-to-hand until his rifle shattered in his hands.

Against impossible odds, they turned the tide. For their valor, all three were awarded the Medal of Honor.

They weren’t just soldiers.
They were warriors who CRUSHED a 5,000-man BANZAI charge and proved that raw courage can stop an army.

This is the unbelievable true story of “The Saipan 3.”
