This picture is of the same pillbox that I took a picture from in the previous photo.
This is what the brave Marines faced when they stormed this beach to liberate Guam. Hidden dangers waiting in ambush to defend a stolen land.
I find this photo interesting, because from the beach the pillbox is hard to spot. There are also 2 others in this rock mount you cannot see clearly.
If you were 1/2 a mile offshore, dismounting from your LCU, they would all be nearly invisible; spewing bullets towards you and your fellow Marines.
