"In this battle we saw the birth of modern amphibious assault against a heavily defended, fortified position. From this birth grew new technique and refinements of old, but more important than all these techniques, in the capture of this vital bastion, was the high state of training and discipline of the individual Marine, his morale, and his confidence and determination to continue the attack even though those about him became casualties."220 November 1953
