The remote island of Peleliu is considered the most well-preserved battlefield in the world. It is illegal to remove any relic from the island, so the battlefield remains almost as it was when the fight here ended in the fall of 1944. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Marine and Army battle, which was supposed to last three days, but instead took 72 days of hard fighting.
