Battle of Attu

May 2018 marks the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Attu as part of the Pacific Theater of World War II--the only ground battle of the war to take place on American soil. For thousands of years, Attu was home to people and wildlife and long before the war, the land existed as one of the earliest Federally protected wildlife resource areas. The Battle of Attu forever changed the island, its inhabitants, and the lives of those who waged battle there, leaving behind scars and stories scattered among the national wildlife refuge that exists today.
