WWII 28mm Miniatures – The Legendary Pacific Theater Warriors
Semper Fidelis
"Always Faithful" - The Motto of the United States Marine Corps
🌊 "Uncommon Valor Was a Common Virtue" – Marines in the Pacific 🌊
The acrid smell of sulfur and gunpowder hung heavy in the air as the Marines of the 5th Division struggled up the black volcanic sand of Iwo Jima's beach. Japanese artillery and machine gun fire rained down mercilessly from Mount Suribachi, the formidable volcano that dominated the island. For these young men, many experiencing combat for the first time, the beach was a hellscape unlike anything they had imagined.
Yet they pressed forward, yard by bloody yard. Their loyalty to the Corps and to each other drove them onward through withering fire. Five days later, a small group of Marines would reach the summit of Mount Suribachi and raise the American flag in what would become one of the most iconic moments of World War II. Admiral Chester Nimitz would later immortalize their sacrifice with the words: "Uncommon valor was a common virtue." The Marines' ferocious determination in the face of seemingly impossible odds would become the stuff of legend.

⏳ USMC Pacific Campaign Timeline
Guadalcanal Landing: The 1st Marine Division launches the first major Allied offensive in the Pacific, beginning a six-month battle of attrition against Japanese forces on this strategically crucial island.
Tarawa: The 2nd Marine Division conducts a brutal three-day assault on the heavily fortified atoll in the Gilbert Islands. The bloody battle provides crucial lessons for future amphibious operations.
Saipan & Tinian: Marines fight against determined Japanese resistance across difficult terrain. The capture of these islands provides crucial airfields for B-29 bombers to reach the Japanese mainland.
Iwo Jima: In one of the bloodiest battles in Marine Corps history, three Marine divisions fight for 36 days to capture this small volcanic island, crucial for providing emergency landing strips for B-29 bombers. The iconic flag-raising on Mount Suribachi becomes a symbol of American resolve.
Okinawa: In the largest amphibious assault of the Pacific War, Marines join Army forces in a grueling 82-day battle against fierce Japanese resistance. This final major battle of the Pacific War comes at an enormous cost in lives on both sides.
