On July 29, 2014, the Marine Band, led by Assistant Drum Major Staff Sgt. Steven Williams, participated in the funeral for World War II casualty Pfc. Randolph Allen, USMC. Pfc. Allen was killed in action on Nov. 20, 1943 during the Battle of Tarawa in the central Pacific Ocean. From Nov. 12-27, 2013, History Flight, a private organization, excavated what was believed to be a wartime fighting posit...ion on the island of Betio. During this excavation History Flight recovered five sets of remains. The Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command used circumstantial evidence and forensic identification tools to identify Pfc. Allen. His remains were returned to the United States and buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Master Sgt. Kristin duBois/released)
