WW2 Combat Photographers - Images Frozen in Time
Before 1941, many of the WW2 combat photographers started out as newspaper photographers or documentary cameramen. They captured America’s current events and social issues on film and those images were then distributed to the public via newspapers and magazines. During World War II, these same professional photographers put on a uniform and traded the safety of home life for the dangers on the battlefield.
Here are three notable war correspondents who documented World War II events, capturing powerful and iconic images that became synonymous with the era - Robert Capa, Joe Rosenthal and Margaret Bourke-White.

The “Doughnut Lassies”, as they were called, dodged bombs, gas attacks, and risked their lives to fry up doughnuts for the Doughboys fighting in the trench...

    Any fan of Chesty Puller should read the book (Fortunate Son) about his son, Lewis Jr, who became a Marine officer who served in Vietnam, was wounded by a booby-trapped 155mm shell, and spent years in recovery until tragically taking his own life. This was the only battle Chesty couldn't find a solution to.

    I remember reading a book about his life and in it there was an anecdote by one of his daughters when she was attending Mount Holyoke College in South Hadley Mass, one of the premier all women's schools in the US. The cab driver who picked her up to take her to the campus asked her what her name was and when she said Puller he asked if she was related to the famous Marine general. "He's my Dad, " she replied. Turned out the cab driver had served with Chesty on Guadalcanal. She relayed in her story about how proud she was that this guy fairly gushed about what a great man and great marine her father was.

    Quite ridiculous that the mistaken pronunciation of Lejeune’s name is manufactured in this film. The example of colonel is completely unsound, why the researcher did not refer to French pronunciations is beyond imagination. The film is well done, but the insisted manner of mispronouncing his name in the spirit of actually pronouncing it correctly, runs throughout the course of the film. The creators of the film actually had the nerve to confront his surviving,elderly daughter regarding the again, manufactured issue of pronunciation. A presumably retired Air Force General serving as the commandant of the Virginia Military Academy reinforces the ongoing farce-lending false authority to the ‘correct way to say it; the example of the pronunciation of colonel is completely off-base, that is for English, it is not the same in French; proper names are not pronounced for the convenience of an adopted language or culture. Porsche is an example that is often butchered in English, especially our American version of the language; bizarre. Well, done, film nonetheless.

    Kind of amazing, really, that I had never heard of General Puller until I enlisted in the Corps in 1977. After Boot Camp, I went to the Camp Pendleton library and got a book titled, “Marines!” that was all about Chesty’s life and it’s a fascinating read. After that I was hooked on Chesty. It made me mad that I let my Recruiter, Sgt R. Higginbotham, talk me out of enlisting as an 0311 and becoming a 7041 (Aviation Operations Specialist) 🙄 instead. But it all worked out, though the highest decoration I received was a Navy Achievement Medal. I do have to say that I’ve never understood why they haven’t made a major motion picture based on his life. Semper Fi, Marines!!! ✝️🇺🇸🦅🌎⚓️✌️😉💯❤️
