Carry On: Letters from the Pacific Theatre

Follow this young marine from Navy boot camp at Camp Peary, West Virginia, across the United States to Marine boot camp at Camp Pendleton, California. There you will meet John Wayne and dance with Betty Grable. Experience his patriotism and dedication to his country, along with his love and homesickness for his family, including his high school sweetheart, Dorothy. Join his journey in the South Pacific from Bougainville to Guam, Guadalcanal and others, and then finally, home. This is the true account of an innocent Oklahoma kid in 1943 changing to a battle-hardened man by 1945. It’s the story of Squire Washington Utsler’s honor and faith told through the letters he wrote home to his family. His experiences show what it truly meant to serve and to always Carry On.
