Using an interview with a World War II veteran
Harold McMurran and primary sources,
students will reflect upon the feelings
members of the Allied Forces experienced
on the morning of June 6, 1944.

This lesson utilizes primary sources to
tell the story of the Battle of Tarawa
and asks students to reflect on how to
memorialize those who made the
ultimate sacrifice for our country’s
freedom.
