Overview:

In the Battle of Suicide Creek, the Marines moved tanks up though the jungle but could not get them across a high-banked creek - until Kerry L. Lane manned a bulldozer and, under intense fire and totally exposed to the enemy, dumped enough landfill into the surging stream to allow the tanks to cross. Lane was shot in the shoulder, but refused to leave the battlefield. Using a telephone, he directed the driver of the lead tank around obstacles as it moved forward. The Japanese eventually retreated. Lane earned a Purple Heart, a Silver Star, five combat stars, a presidential citation for gallantry, and the rank of staff sergeant.

Good prep for the SC campaign.
