In honor of Memorial Day, the Kiwanis Club of Suburban Frederick recently
had Clyde Holloway, author of “Pacific War Marine,” speak of his father’s
experiences during World War II. Holloway’s father, Marine Stanley P. Holloway,
was a member of the “Forgotten Battalion,” which fought at Tulagi, Guadalcanal,
Tarawa, Saipan, Guam and Iwo Jima. Starting out with more than 500 Marines, the
battalion was decimated over four years until there were only 17 left standing.
His father was one of the 17. “Pacific War Marine” chronicles his father’s
experiences during the war. Pictured are Holloway, center, being thanked by club
members and former Marines Janet “Mick” Hickman, left, and Ellis Stroup.
