Camp Foster: Pfc. William A. Foster was a rifleman with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. After assaulting a fortified Japanese position, he and another Marine engaged in a fierce hand grenade duel with enemy soldiers.

He lived long enough to hand his last two grenades to his fellow Marine, saying, “Make them count!”
