A navy reservist was awarded the Bronze Star with Combat "V" for his actions during the invasion of Tarawa in November 1943, when, as the coxswain of a US Navy landing craft and against direct orders, he rescued 47 Marines who were stranded offshore (and supervised the rescue of 30 others), while under heavy enemy machine-gun fire. Reflecting on the event shortly before his passing he stated it was the one event of his life he was most proud of. He was known at the time as Lieutenant Edward Heimberger but later adopted the screen name Eddie Albert when he starred as Oliver Wendal Douglas in the sitcom Green Acres.

Just to clear up why the Japanese Admiral had thought the battle would take so long, the island had a string of shallow reefs that would slow and even halt ordinary amphibious landing craft, but the Marines were given a new kind of landing craft that had tracks and climbed over the reefs with very little effort. The Japanese anticipated the U.S. response to get hung up off the coast far away from the beech but instead were horrified to see the Marines gliding over the reefs straight for them, which is why the surviving soldier recounted how they thought these crafts as spiders effortlessly passing directly over the reefs.

When i was a kid my dads friend would come by and hang out. He loved to watch green acres. He would get starry eyed when Eddy Albert was on the tv. I thought that was wierd. Bob,my dads friend was a marine and was at tarawa. His boat was hit he was blown out of the boat as was hundreds of marines. Some in pieces some dead some with holes in them. Eddy was there pulling marines aboard his boat against orders. Bob was one of the 170 marines that eddy saved that day.
Bloody Tarawa was an absolute blood bath. There is no other fighting force ever in the history of mankind could have pulled off taking Tarawa.
The US MARINES pulled it off in three days.
