    Gen. Robert B. Neller (left), Commandant of the Marine Corps, carries a wreath to be laid at the Solomon Scouts and Coastwatchers Memorial during 75th Anniversary of the Battle for Guadalcanal ceremonies at Honiara, Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands, on Aug. 7, 2017. Solomon Scouts and Coastwatchers provided invaluable support and aid to the Allied effort during World War II. Two Solomon Islanders, Eroni Kumana and Biukuk Gasa, rescued U.S. Navy Lt. John F. Kennedy and his 10 surviving crew fro PT-109, August 1943. Kennedy later became president of the United States. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Armando R.
